Have you ever felt the need to say something to a dear friend, but simply didn't? Something fresh. Something exciting. Something loving. Something important. You don't want to change their minds over something or make them feel unsupported, but you feel you need to lay it all down for them... you need to lay it out in hope that they will be able to see things the way you do. And not just see things, but understand it all.
I really don't want to elaborate, so I'm sorry for the vagueness of the post. But it's on my heart and I need to get it out.
You can understand something and not believe it.
But you can believe something and not understand it.
You may say that you can't believe something until you understand it inside and out, but I disagree. I think you could call that faith.
' "Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." '
[Mark 11:22-26]
