Embracing the Unseen: A Leap of Faith
In a world where empirical evidence and rational thinking reign supreme, it’s often challenging to accept the notion that our lives, both on earth and beyond, are shaped by the invisible. This paradox is exemplified in the story of a devoted follower of Christ, who struggled to come to terms with the brutal crucifixion of his beloved Jesus. The eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ resurrection seemed dubious, and it wasn’t until he beheld the scars and heard the voice of his risen Lord that he proclaimed, “My Lord and my God.”
The Power of Faith
As Carlo Carretto so eloquently puts it in his book, In Search of the Beyond, “I began to know Jesus as soon as I accepted Jesus as truth.” Today, God invites us to take a similar leap of faith, to believe without seeing. And it’s precisely this initial step of trust that sets in motion a profound journey of discovery, leading to an increasingly intimate understanding of Jesus.
A Small Step, a Mighty Transformation
We’re fortunate to be among those who, though we haven’t seen, have chosen to believe. As we take this initial step of faith, we can be assured that God will begin His transformative work within us. It’s a remarkable truth: all that’s required is a small measure of faith in Jesus, and God will respond with a mighty outpouring of His power.
Gratitude for God’s Mercy
Let us express our heartfelt gratitude to our Heavenly Father, who asks only for a modest amount of faith before unleashing His incredible work of transformation within us. May we cherish this gift and continue to deepen our relationship with Jesus, the unseen yet ever-present force in our lives.
