Faith and Heaven

Have you ever struggled with understanding or believing in something you can't see?

Hey GEM girls! Here's a little story to put things into perspective:

“In a mother's womb were two babies. One asked the other: ‘Do you believe in life after delivery?’

The other replied, ‘Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.’

‘Nonsense’ said the first. ‘There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?’

The second said, ‘I don't know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can't understand now.’

The first replied, ‘That is ridiculous! Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.’

The second insisted, ‘Well I think there is something and maybe it's different than it is here. Maybe we won't need this physical cord anymore.’

The first replied, ‘Nonsense. And if there is life, then why has no one ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery, there is nothing but darkness and silence. It takes us nowhere.’

‘Well, I don't know,’ said the second, ‘but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.’

The first replied ‘Mother? Do you actually believe in Mother? That's funny. If Mother exists then where is she now?’

The second said, ‘She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of her. It is in her that we live. Without her, this world would not and could not exist.’

Said the first: ‘Well I don't see her, so it is only logical that she doesn't exist.’

To which the second replied, ‘Sometimes, when you're in silence and you focus and you really listen, you can perceive her presence, and you can hear her loving voice, calling down from above.'"

This story is a great representation of life here on Earth. Some people believe that just because you can't see God, He doesn't exist. However, through the Bible, we know He does. "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1.

Jesus has given His life for us. The least we can do is believe in Him and live for Him.

"And 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." Hebrews 11:6

"For we live by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7
