What about if we cannot see?
Many times, when we believe…we cannot necessarily see what it is we believe…like oxygen…we breathe it in, we have faith that the oxygen is there to fill our lungs.
What about faith in GOD? Can we believe by reading ? We have not yet seen God face to face but we believe His Word. We believe the word of others who HAVE SEEN. We believe GOD HIMSELF breathed His inspiration into men to write His Word. So if we believe His Word…IT MEANS We believe He LOVES us., CARES for us, calls us PRECIOUS, has a GOOD PLAN for us. YES!
The New Testament urges us throughout to believe in Jesus Christ. The well-known scripture John:3:16 explains that God loved the world and gave His Son so “that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Believing in Jesus is THE KEY FACTOR.
I believe GOD’s WORD FULLY. I believe we ALL have a PURPOSE here. We are here to uplift each other, to let our light shine. I believe YOU MATTER. YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE! I believe you are reading this because God has a MESSAGE for YOU.
Don’t lose heart…BELIEVE.
