It’s not easy for me to believe something. I need proof. The other way is I need to see everything with my eyes. But then, it would no more be called believing. When I see what I’m supposed to believe, I’ll be inspecting it to check it out for me. And then I’ll be on board if I’m satisfied logically and rationally. Further, I will be interested in the story behind what I see. Some of the things aren’t revealed to me yet! But I believe they will be.
#
My life was shaken, I simply cried
I wanted to see you and feel you
My heart needs more than words
Yet your unseen hands held me
When loneliness clouded my life
You’re still with me, I believe!
The woman came back running
She saw the stone been removed!
They’re awestruck as they went inside
The strip of linen is still there, in its place
On the Third Day just as he told them.
He’s risen! Now they believed!
##
“Woman, why are you crying?”
Her heart’s troubled, he knew it well
“Peace be with you,” he said to them
They were overjoyed when they saw him.
“Unless I see the nail marks in his hands,
I’ll not believe,” denied the doubting one
##
“Put your finger here; see my hands.
Reach out your hand and put it on my side.
Stop doubting and believe.” said Jesus.
“Blessed are those who have not seen
And yet have believed,” he reminded.
Now he believed; He’s risen!
###
Would you believe in him today?
Your words fulfiled day by day
He gave me a new life in his grace
One day he’ll raise me to be with him
Now I believe!
The word Believe:
Many people struggle with the word ‘believe’. It sounds hollow to those who haven’t witnessed it as yet. The only thing required is patience and relying on the spirit of God. We felt complete because we can reason and work out a roadmap to our reasoning as well.
I saw and read about many people with chronic disorders making it through the day joyfully. It was a joy reading or watching about them. I used to say I could be one of them. However, when the rope is thrown on me it’s almost the opposite.
It takes a lot of depressing moments or periods and fluctuating hope to hold onto the rope. Self-belief sometimes doesn’t last long! I tend to shed tears but I wanted to hide as much as possible. Even now, while I’m writing this I could not help myself…..
The Life-Changing Believe:
My physical body, one day, will surely perish. This is not believing, I have seen it, it’s a real deal. No one can escape. Some people don’t deserve to die, in our perspective, but they even go before us.
I did not see Jesus Christ risen from the dead with my own eyes. But I believe He is risen! Now, this is the belief I wanted to talk about. And I am sure enough I have eternal life because I believe in him.
“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. John 5:24
For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him. 1 Thess. 4:14
Believing:
Believe is the word used for something with no proof or evidence as in the field of science and mathematics. Mathematics and science are easy subjects because you don’t need to go beyond the limit. It’s a subject where everything can be proven by you using the methods and formulae. As one jotted down ‘Hence Proved’ at the end of our calculations, there is always a huge sigh of relief especially if it involves a long process.
However, there were many subjects in the field of education to gain the acceptable level for a person to be declared as mastering one’s field of education. There is no end to exploring more if the minds are not lazy. Anyway, humans are learning until their last day! Thus, the power of our minds is tremendous.
I Believe
Believing is my ropeway
It is my stairway to heaven
I trust in him for my salvation
I’ll meet him in the air or before
His words never change, I believe
I’m risking it all, withholding none
Full confidence I have in him
I have hope, faith, trust in him
So, I believe in the son of God!
Believe it is my biggest gift
A gift from the only son of God
It’s his way of staying connected
He is the way; and that I believe!
