There are things we will never know.
There are things we can never know.

Mathematically, there are things that are true that will never be proved, there are universes we will never see or touch.

But I need something, OK? Maybe he can’t or won’t land on the White House lawn.
Then he can land at the supermarket parking lot. Somewheres.

Something to believe that is real and concrete and has meaning and follows some kind of karma logic and is not idle fantasy.

And the sad fact is aliens, if they show up, will only prove I am even closer to the ants that live in my yard than I thought... not closer to God.

How about this.

I have found that God is almost always willing to meet us part way.

HOWEVER, IT’S ALWAYS STILL ESSENTIALLY ON HIS TERMS, IN HIS WAY, IN HIS TIMING.

PLEASE CONSIDER

asking Him

TO MAKE HIMSELF REAL TO YOU IN TERMS YOU CAN TRUST AND MAKE SOME USEFUL SENSE OUT OF.

Now the trust will involve some faith.

HE HAS DECLARED THAT IS A REQUIREMENT FOR A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, TO PLEASE HIM.

HE WILL NOT REMOVE THAT PRIORITY.

However, He certainly knows we are but flesh and quite flawed in our capacities to apprehend Him in a functional way. He is virtually always willing to meet us part way

AS LONG AS we recognize HIS being Almighty God in terms of authority, rights, etc.

Otherwise, there is no order, all is meaningless chaos.

I would not guess how long He might take to respond.

He tends to do so when we least expect it and in ways we least expect.

THEN we have a choice—to accept the evidence, or not.

It is usually not emphatic undeniable proof. He requires too much faith to totally remove all need for faith.

However, HE DOES, IS VERY GOOD AT providing SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE, SUFFICIENT FOUNDATION for faith in ways very tailor made to our unique person and experiences.

I will certainly pray accordingly.

I will ask Him to touch you in the area of your deepest need, your deepest longing, your specific unique personality in ways that only He could know.

Others will be praying as well.

We shall see.

No disrespect, but what if someone were to tell you that they were once in a very serious situation where they were about to be killed and that God saved their ass?

If someone were to tell you that, what would it count for?

Fair question?
