day happened to be shine-d by stars...
Maybe you think all God wants you to do is shut up and fall in line. Maybe you were told you should never question God. Maybe that's kept you at a distance from God. But real faith is never formed in the safety of the stands. Faith is formed on the mat. Faith is formed in the blood, sweat, and tears of struggling with God and not letting go. God didn't punish Jacob for wrestling with him, but honored him by giving him a new name and a new identity (Israel).
