Interesting perspective.

I just read Romans 5 today and was struck by the mention of experience leading to hope...

"And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly." -- Romans 5:3-6

Having succumbed to the experience myself, it's easy for me to observe others so eager for a burning bush revelation that we miss the abundancy of small miracles and personal heroism taking place all around us on a daily basis.

We demand "proof" to bolster our beliefs, but when presented with it, we only bolster our skepticism, and demand even more proof.

I'm confident GOD loves us; we must keep him constantly amused by our silliness.
