FJWL_01:275
         (The Apostle Thomas:) In the day that the Lord said, "Eat My flesh and drink My blood," there were many that were with us. We didn't understand. It was disgusting! What a thought! There were rumblings amongst us, and many turned back. Those of us who were close, though we didn't understand, we wanted to understand. We wanted to believe and we had the faith to trust, to wait, and then we understood.
         The key is the desire of your heart. Do you say, "No, I don't believe! I won't believe! I don't want to believe!" Or do you say, "I don't understand, I don't believe, but Lord, I want to believe! I want to understand!" Because he that seeks for an answer will find it. He that knocks shall find the doors are open to him. He that asks for faith, he that says in his heart, "Lord, help my unbelief," shall find relief and release in faith.
         So choose! Will you choose the path of doubt, the path of a heart that is completely closed, the path that is not searching for faith? Or will you choose the path of faith, that even though you do not understand, and even if you do not believe, you wish to believe, and your heart is open to receive? He that chooses the path of the closed heart is not open to the truth of God (ML #3041).
