At its core, it\u2019s two things: faith and love. Jesus summed it up in Matthew 22: &#8220;Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.&#8221; That\u2019s the foundation. Everything else is just home d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hebrews 11:6 reminds us that \u201cwithout faith, it is impossible to please God.\u201d Parents light up when their children trust them, and in the same way, our Heavenly Father smiles when we believe Him &#8212; even when we don\u2019t yet see the full picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s where faith flips the script. The world says, \u201cSeeing is believing.\u201d God says, \u201cBelieving is seeing.\u201d Big difference. Some of life\u2019s greatest moments will only come into view after we first take the risk of believing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about it &#8212; every invention, every milestone, every \u201caha!\u201d moment began with someone who believed it was possible before there was any proof. Faith is the bridge that carries a dream from our hearts into our hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll be honest &#8212; there have been times when I laughed at God\u2019s plans for me. Out loud. With a \u201cBut, Lord, there&#8217;s no way that can happen!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But then He went ahead and did it anyway. And all I could do was laugh &#8212; only this time, through tears of amazement. Faith has a way of turning our \u201cnever\u201d into \u201clook what God did!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what about you? What dream keeps nudging your heart? The one that feels too far, too big, or too risky? Maybe it\u2019s restoring a relationship, starting a ministry, writing that book, or simply forgiving someone you thought you never could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is faith isn\u2019t about leaping tall buildings in a single bound. It\u2019s about taking the next step while trusting God to handle the outcome. When we partner with Him, our goals stop being mere ambitions &#8212; they become acts of obedience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faith is believing what we can\u2019t yet see, trusting that God is already at work in the unseen. So let\u2019s get that believing in gear &#8212; the seeing will follow. And when it does, you and I will have a front-row seat to the goodness of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust God with the unseen, and watch Him turn your \u2018never\u2019 into \u2018look what He did!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#FaithWalk #BelieveFirst #GodDidIt&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life with God really isn\u2019t as complicated as we sometimes make it.
