"The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God"

- William Gurnall

About this Quote

This quote by William Gurnall speaks to the concept of faith in God. It recommends that the Christian must trust a God who is not constantly present, however who is still there. This idea of a withdrawing God is a tough principle to understand, as it indicates that God is not always offered to us. Nevertheless, it likewise indicates that God is still there, even when we can not see Him. It is a tip that faith is not constantly easy, but it is necessary in order to have a relationship with God. It is a suggestion that even when God appears far-off, He is still there and He still loves us. It is a reminder that we need to rely on God, even when He appears to be withdrawing from us.
