Compared to most people, I am a relatively naive person. It follows that my faith is rather simple too. I just believe in God's love and that this love is sufficient to sustain, nurture, and more than satisfy me. I much prefer reading authors who write with their heart than with their intellect or brain. Books like Carretto's Letters from the Desert just suits me fine. Anything theological or that which gets into deep analysis or just wordy doesn't generate much interest in me. Maybe this gets me close to believing like a child as Jesus likes. I am lucky that when I look into my heart, I do not find any tangled mess, knots, or cobwebs ~ the Lord must have taken all that away. This is why St. Therese of Lisieux appeal to me so much and I had asked her to be my spiritual director. I hope that you will find your own personal way of believing that suits you.
