Meet Your Faith

Meet Your Faith When we see the remains of a candy wrapper we know a delightful treat was enjoyed by someone. When we’ve disposed of corn husks we can imagine the savory taste of a meal that had been wrapped inside. In our sorrow we might cling and find comfort in the scent of a loved that may remain on an article of clothing or a scarf. Do we think that there is nothing for us to enjoy or all is lost or gone because all we see are empty wrappings or a memory? Jesus’ followers continued to believe in Jesus even after death. They did not say, “He is gone now. What good was it all? He is no longer in our midst.” They followed Him to the tomb and still opened it and continued to believe when His body was gone and all that was left was the wrappings from his limbs and head. We cannot see our spirit that connects us to God. We cannot physically touch our soul where Jesus lives. But we can feel it. When the world throws you a curve ball, stand strong in your beliefs and do not cave in when all else seems to crumble. Nothing can take away a strong and determined spirit. Anyone can imitate the physical action of the sign of the cross. However, only the faithful can feel the power of The Holy Trinity that never fades. Know intimately the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit so that all who look at you may witness the Spirit of Christ. Don’t wait to meet Christ to believe, at that late hour it may be too late to meet your faith. John 20:2-8 So Mary Magdalene ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed.
