Human beings did not come to believe in God just because of someone's private testimony about him.  Rather, belief in God became real when human beings understood that all of human history is being guided and lead, kept and sustained by a God who is incredibly in love with all that he has made.  It is this realization that leads us to thanksgiving and gratitude for the one who gives us "this land flowing with milk and honey."  It also leads us to adoration and worship as we continue to see the creative power of God's presence in all of the events of our lives.  The Church stands as a living witness to all of these things and calls us this Lent to reflect and remember.  There is a great temptation for human beings to leave the truth of who they are, where they came from and who created them.  Falling into this temptation we cease giving thanks to and worshipping our Creator as we pursue our own self-sufficiency, power and prestige.  While having more may seem better, the only thing we really need more of is love.  This fortifies us and keeps us from falling.
