By H.H. Pope Shenouda III
Faith Of Confidence And Test
It is not faith in God what we read about in the theological books or in the religious institutions, or in the churches and in the Sunday schools with all their kinds.
But it is the faith in God that we test in our lives. We were in companionship with Him, we let Him enter in every detail of our lives, and practically tested what David said "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good" (Ps 34:8). We found that God is wonderful, to the most extent, beyond what the mind can imagine.
Our whole life is fellowship with Christ. We tasted His beauty, His love and His care, we also saw His power and His glory.
We saw how He enters into our problems and solves them in ways that could not have occurred to us before.
Because of our test we gained confidence not built on books, but on what we felt by our hands, that's why our faith is a true faith destined in our hearts.
