God won't leave us comfortless in any situation

As I read about Helen Keller I was moved at how she knew God before she even knew a language.
One of Helen's friends was Philips Books who was a famous of his generation in america at one time.
Helen was blind and deaf from the age of two, she had lived a life of isolation, unable to speak words she could not hear, unable to know what a word was. So, how did she know God?

In one of her letters, Helen told Bishop Brooks that she had always known about God, even before she had any words. Even before she could call God anything, she knew God was there. She didn't know what it was. God had no name for her -- nothing had a name for her. She had no concept of a name. But in her darkness and isolation, she knew she was not alone. Someone was with her. She felt God's love. And when she received the gift of language and heard about God, she said she already knew.

Phillips Brooks was thrilled by this. This was the God he knew!

There are some who don't even believe in God, but then there was Helen who always knew Him.

Now this is what is interesting to me. Because people say that others impose and push there believe on people to make them believe. Yet when we consider Helen Keller, we see that she didn't have any Christians, or anyone there to "impose" their belief on her and she just innately knew there was a God! Imagine That:)

So, my question is how can someone explain that?
I would say that it was the Holy Spirit who was with her and speaking and talking with her, how else would she know God in such a way? Totally awesome thread! And yes, I do believe it was the Holy Spirit that witness to her heart the things and will of God.

The bible teaches us in Romans 1:20-21
"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened."

As Paul explains in this scripture that even the Gentiles were without a knowledge of Christ had been shown enough about God through creation to have honored and been thankful to Him.

And she could not see.....but God's grace through His Holy Spirit witness His presence in her life and gave her heart faith to believe in Him, even though she didn't have a language, to recognize, till later.

It really makes one think about those countries that the gospel has not yet reached and I question will they (those people) know? This has really opened my heart to some profound thoughts concerning God's endless control... Regardless of what man thinks..."
