Believe

To believe is to live beyond life

To dwell in the invisible by faith

To hear from the unseen

And to love a being that cannot be touched

To believe is to defy the laws of nature

For if you dare believe you will walk in darkness knowing you are light

You will have peace in the storm knowing that there is a way

If you believe you will glimpse into the future and see that all that you are is not what is outside but what is inside.

You will not stop the storms. The storms will stop for you.

You will not end the darkness. The darkness will shine as light. The chains that held you bound will become weapons to free others if you believe.

You will see Him whose name is Holy. He builds your faith so you can believe. For faith is what you have, but to believe is what you do. So do, and do and keep on doing because of what He has done.

So when the oceans open her mouth to swallow you whole taking you into the depth of her being, vanishing you from existence. Your ship upon the waters was broken and all like Jonah you are left to die. Believe!

When the afflictions will come and the source of the tears cannot be closed and all the things around you remind you of your pains and all like Job you are left to curse the day you were born. Believe! Just believe!

When you have expended all scriptures you know, and things remain as they are never changing always howling and ever alive reminding you of your mistakes. Please believe!

When the bones are dried, long far gone from living, dwelling in a valley, lost and forgotten. A voice comes and ask you, "Can these bones live again?" All you have to do is believe!

Believe in the one who created both possibilities and impossibilities. Believe in Him who can turn His Word to become flesh, born as a baby, growing as a man, dying as a lamb but rising as a King.

My friends, my fathers, my mothers, my sisters, my family. Believe, believe and keep on believing. For no one can stop you when you believe!
