Crazy Faith: It’s Only Crazy Until It Happens

Imagine standing on the edge of a vast mountain at dawn, the sky painted in hues of gold and deep blue, the clouds swirling gently as they part to reveal a radiant light. This image embodies the essence of faith — a powerful, invisible force that moves us beyond what we see into what we hope for. Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This profound truth reminds us that faith is not a blind leap but a steady trust that forms the foundation of our lives.

Throughout history, from the days of ancient heroes to our own stories, faith has been the unseen hand guiding the brave. Consider those who dared to trust in promises long before they were fulfilled, like a man who left his homeland at the age of seventy-five, stepping into the unknown with nothing but a divine word. Or the builder who constructed a massive ark in response to a warning of a flood never before witnessed. These stories are not just ancient tales but living lessons that faith often requires us to act despite uncertainty and delay.

Faith is more than a personal feeling; it is the very thing that pleases the divine. Without it, the connection to the Creator remains out of reach. Without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. This teaches us that faith is the lifeline to a relationship with the divine, a journey that demands trust beyond what our eyes can see.

As we begin this journey through the landscape of faith, remember that what seems crazy or impossible today is often the foundation of tomorrow’s miracles. These lessons will guide you through the stages and challenges of faith, helping you to build a trust that transforms your life and the world around you.

Let us now step forward to explore how faith begins with small, tender steps — baby faith — and grows through the courage to move even when certainty is not complete.
