My mom sent me two copies of InTouch magazine along with the following note. I thought she had some pretty insightful things to say so I decided to post her note (with her permission).
You may or may not find some of this information helpful on your spiritual quest. One of the reasons I support this ministry is because their leader says not to believe anything he says but to read the Bible to see if it is true for yourself.
You did pray as a young child. One day you asked me how do you pray. I told you simply to not be afraid because God knows the secrets of your heart and your inner most thoughts already. There is nothing you can hide. You must trust. This is difficult because there is always the fear of God asking you to do something or give something up that you don't want to do. However God has infinite patience and will keep calling you to seek as long as there is any hope you will listen. It is harder for those who he has gifted with a brilliant mind but God knows if those gifts are used as he intended then much good can result.
For my forbearers who fished the open ocean, there were trusting because each day they were confronted with their vulnerability. I used to ask them all kinds of questions when I was a child to which they had no answers. No answers to those questions to one struggling to believe and have faith because they simply accepted what to them was totally obvious.
Keep seeking. You will find answers and a lot more questions.
Yes, I must keep seeking. For now, I'm left with more questions than answers.
