This faith of mine isnt just a casual conversation piece or an identification with a particular religion. Its real and tangible and radically life altering. Its all I talk about because Hes all that matters. Its not a fairy tale-type hope and its not a genie in the bottle belief in God. Its an assured and educated hope of what I cant see at work with my eyes but that I know is there...both now and to come. It doesnt give me all Ive ever wanted but it gives me exactly what Ive always needed. It doesnt give me all the answers but allows me to rest in His all knowing plan. Its not emotional hype; Its a changed heart that often just explodes with gratefulness of all He has brought me through and given to me so freely. It is not a crutch but it is an anchor for my soul that firmly holds me in through the storms. Its not a declaration of my perfection. In fact, Its a declaration my dependence on the only One who is Holy. Its a realization that I am nothing and can do nothing without Him in me. And this faith wont be silent. It wont back down. It wont sit on the sidelines. It will struggle, it will waver, it will hurt, it will cost and it will bleed. But in the end it will reward. And today of all days it gives me peace and purpose knowing that he was thinking of me when he died and he gives me the privilege of playing a part in His story...He is alive...in this I have faith. Happy Resurrection Sunday!
