The Bible tells us (Hebrews 11:1) that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the "evidence" of things not seen. In a mystery, we typically think of "evidence" as clues we can piece together to help us understand an event that we didn't see with our eyes. We believe in a God we can not see with our eyes but we can see the evidence He's left behind which points to the reality of His existence. - The Evidence Of Faith.

When we approach Jesus, we find Him to be meek & lowly of heart. This is powerful because it is disarming, and helps us to respond to Him with our affection & hearts.

Then we can have ears to hear the paths of righteousness – The Resting Place.
