So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18
Belief-it’s a powerful thing. Belief is strong, and it’s hard. It’s also easy. So what is belief? Well, LOOK IT UP!!! J/K, J/K. I already did!
Belief:
–noun
| 1. |
something believed; an opinion or conviction: a belief that the earth is flat. |
| 2. |
confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof: a statement unworthy of belief. |
| 3. |
confidence; faith; trust: a child’s belief in his parents. |
| 4. |
a religious tenet or tenets; religious creed or faith: the Christian belief. |
(Thanks to dictionary.com!!!!)
Let’s focus on number 2 for now. Confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof.
As Christians, we are making a promise. A promise that even though we can’t see God, we weren’t there to watch him make the earth, we can’t see the things that happen in the bible, we still believe in him. We still believe that he died to save us, and we believe that he will come again to earth. Belief to me, is trusting in something even though you have no proof.
In truth, the biggest thing we (people in general) have to believe in is that some how, the world was created. It’s your choice on what you believe from there. Whether you believe that some for of God created the world, or if you believe the Big Bang Theory, or whether you believe that we descended for apes. Whatever you believe, chances are, you think that your theory is the right theory. Well, nobody on Earth today was there when the the world was created, so nobody knows what the right theory is.
So don’t put down somebody because of what they believe, just agree to disagree. It’s OK if you don’t believe the same thing. I am a faithful Catholic, and my best friend isn’t even Christan. I still hang out with her. Yes, I express to her that I don’t believe what she does, but we still are friends! Don’t discriminate because of belief. It’s not worth it.

Ok, so my cousin nickname Panda and I were walking to a restaurant when we saw a sticker on a sign. It looked like this 
. If you can’t see it really well, it’s a Yoda, but it’s blue with 3 eyes. We thought it was amusing, chuckled a bit, then kept walking. When we got to the restaurant, we saw another sticker EXACTLY like it. “Weird” we thought. A week or so later, we went to camp. During beach activities, we took a boat out, and while we were boating, we noticed a white pole in the water. Guess what it had on it. If you guessed Yoda sticker, you were right.
