Although regarded as one of the most spiritual of all earth dwellers, a recent book and Time Magazine article demonstrated that Mother Teresa hadn't heard from God for a span of 40-50 years. What, no signs and wonders? No apparitions of the Virgin Mary? No going to the mailbox and finding a check for the exact amount of all her bills?
Still she trudged on through the slums of India, almost unnoticed.
I do admire her honesty and transparency. Sometimes God seems very distant and illusive, does He not?
"Waiting for Godot" (God) was voted the most significant play of the 20th Century. Moby Dick, considered to be the great American novel was actually about one's unrelenting quest for God. All those pages about the whiteness of the whale typified the great transcendent One. Was it Lord Tennyson who asserted that there is great faith in "honest doubt'? Though Thomas is called the doubter, actually the other disciples doubted as well. Paul never bragged about his spirituality, as do many these days, but rather those things he encountered in the heavenlies were "unlawful to be uttered."
He must increase... Lord, increase our faith. We believe - help our unbelief!
