Belief and doubt are two sides to the same coin. Belief is going one way and doubt goes the other. It is still belief which ever way you believe. If you don’t know by now that believing is what changes the world around you. Before anyone commits themselves to any direction in life, they must first believe it is the right way. This means no matter whether the way is good or bad, it still requires believing. You have seen it all your life. This is nothing new to anyone. Our minds are the most powerful tool we have. Our mind contains the essence of who we are. It is our mind, will and intellect. In other words, it is our heart. Seeing isn’t believing. To believe anything we must commit with our heart to that direction. Once our eyes of our heart are opened and we understand, then we believe and commit to that direction. This is the difference between hope and faith. To hope that something is good and just, we look at it to gain understanding. Then when our eyes are opened, we commit ourselves to this direction. This is called faith.
And faith can move mountains, if we stand and believe. I have seen things that if I didn’t have faith would not exist. Faith is the right or positive side of believing. Doubt isn’t. Hope can easily be crushed. That is where faith comes into play. When you believe, it shields hope and guides you on. I have fallen in love with the one person who personifies hope and faith. Because without faith, hope and love, we are tinkling cymbals. I fell in love with Jesus because I had hope and then faith that He could do all He promised us in His word. As the bible says, as a man believes so is he.
