The world doesn’t know it. But faith is far more real than the kind of reality many people think.
It is faith that helps us see what others fail to see. It is faith that makes it possible to find a way where others find no way at all.
In eternity, we will see better, and we will understand more how faith is indeed tangible, more tangible than the knowledge possessed by the wise. Faith enables us to make sense of things, to value things for their true worth. It sees true beauty. It knows which things are passing and which things truly remain.
Faith is not wishful thinking. It is not a fantasy based on our mere imaginings. For how could our fallen mind even imagine the things of faith? It is like a man born blind trying to imagine the light!
No. We know faith only because the eyes of our spirit have been opened for us.
Faith is more real than we think. With it comes new horizons we could never have dreamt or imagined. With it comes wisdom. With it comes the power even to move mountains into the sea!
For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. -Matthew 17:20
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
