Living the God Life

I usually write my own stuff, but I found this little snippet by Eyleen Farmer an apt reflection of the kind of faith I hope I have.

LIVING THE GOD-LIFE
The God-life is not about believing all the right things about Jesus. It’s not about being able to recite the creed without crossing your fingers or believing that Jonah was swallowed by a big fish or having an instant, now-you’re-saved, “born again” experience. It is about being willing to let go of everything you think you know and allowing yourself to be drawn into the mystery that is God. “Believing,” as [the Gospel of ] John uses this word, does not refer to some intellectual process that happens in your head. To “believe” in something is to give your heart to it.
The God-life then is about giving your heart to God:
Your broken heart.
Your disbelieving heart.
Your divided, angry, fearful heart.
Your hard heart.
You do not, of course, have the power to transform your own heart, but you do have the power to offer it, no matter what condition it is in, to the God who is able to make all things new.
