You Decide

Last month I was talking to my pastor about faith. We had a gread discussion and he had some good points. As I was leaving he made one final comment to me that I found interesting. 'Where proof is possible, faith is impossible.' At the time I thought it was one of the best things i'd heard in a while. As I got to thinking about it more I realized I disagree. I have faith in God and I feel that my faith is very strong. But there is so much proof out there it is impossible not to see it. All I have to do is look back on my life. I know I never would have been able to go through everything I did without God's help. I look outside and I see all the wonderful things he has created. I look in the face of the man I love and I know I never woud have met him without God's help. I read my bible and it is impossible not to believe. I look at my friends and I know they wouldn't be there if God had not planned it. There is so much proof out there, does that mean I don't have faith? It is impossible not to see the proof, but once you see it, it is impossible not to believe it was something other than the 'big bang.' I have faith, don't I? Proof only makes it easier for others to have faith, right?
