You said that if God is as big as you believed He is, then you can search for truth without leaving Him. You are absolutely right. Any belief you hold should be because you believe it is true.

When I was uncertain about a career, I prayed for only one school to offer my a position; God went so far as to not have any of the other schools return my calls! I am sure you have heard testimonies of similar experiences of healing, provisions, and guidance. God 's goodness is
