"Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists."



This song is seriously how God feels about us.

I really wish people knew this! I can't imagine how God feels.

God wants to give us all SO SO much!!! Why can the world not recognize Him?

We lack so much faith. Why is it so easy for us to believe in so many things that are so dumb and senseless, yet so difficult for us to believe in Him?

I mean seriously, Pascal was right in the above quote. Ironically, I've found myself repeating the same thing to friends when I speak to them about why I believe in God.

It's true, it IS a wise wager. But as Dante said, facilus descensus averni "the descent into Hell is easy." Indeed, Christ himself said it in Matthew 7:13 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it."

It's easy to do what's wrong, it's doing what's right that's much more difficult. But it is a task rightfully taken up, and a worthy burden that leads to great riches in Christ himself!
