Sophies Tree


It seems to be a common theme with my peer group that in order to believe and follow something you require some hardcore physical evidence of it. I guess that's hardly surprising given this day and age where one can gain an abundance of information on any of the worlds lies by simply sitting at a computer. We live in a time where foxtell plays documentaries on groups that claim to be able to prove that Scientology is fact,that all faiths led to the same god and we even see every day on face book people making life decisions based on zodiac signs. Is it any wonder that when presented with the One true God people are hesitant. How many times in the past have they burnt themselves reaching out to something that does not exist, they are reluctant to reach out again.
So the truth is placed before them and the awesome thing about God is HE IS REAL and interacts with you. Vain attempts to contact any other gods or faith in other areas that are designed to fill the spiritual thirst we all have are answered with silence and this makes people hesitant to try again and explore the one true God.
But my God is awesome and wants to have a relationship with my loved ones and time but time again my hesitant friends are too scared to take the step. Why combat that? just leave it to God to deal with their doubts. Twice this year i have told people to ask God to show them he is real and twice now God has shaken their world. Soph asked for God to show her and he did. Lying out the back in long grass and looking into the sky at dusk the huge gum trees in the back yard spread its branches in such a way that she saw a huge wooden cross formed by two perfectly straight branches from separate trees, with the red sky behind it.(The photo above is of the actual tree and you cant see one let alone two perfectly straight branches). She knew what it was and that it was meant for her. Others may have just seen two crossing branches (i did) but i know first hand when God speaks to you you don't second guess it. Now you asked God for proof and he answered, he spoke to you and you know its real. What are you going to do about it?
