It is impossible to please God without faith.  Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. - Hebrews 11:6 I am not impossible to please.  In fact, I provide to you exactly what I require from you:  faith.  I have given you the faith to believe that I am real, and I am a rewarder.  I am not merely an impersonal cosmic force but a personal, loving, gracious God to those who seek me. I gave you the desire to go after me, and then I rewarded your pursuit of me.  And what is the reward I have given to you?  I have given grace and forgiveness.  I have rewarded you with the righteousness of Christ in place of your failed attempts at being right with me.  But the most prized reward I have given is myself - in closer relationship and clearer understanding.  I have rewarded your seeking by allowing myself to be found.
