Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. (The New Living Bible)
Is there anything more dynamic and powerful than faith? As people who have come to understand that God loves us deeply and personally and as people who have stepped out of total self reliance to really trust in God we have been washed by Jesus and washed away by waves of His presence and His promises. We have found that God is not impersonal, distant, historical or debatable. He is as real as the next person you see. But this faith that connects us is not available until you exercise faith to be connected. Something within must grasp that our greatest need is to be restored to God and then something within must realize that God has come to take care of that restoration. It's almost like that time in junior high school when you went to yourfirst dance. As you stood shyly in a corner of the dance floor you realized that the experience wouldn't be complete without dancing. As you spotted a particular girl on the other side of the room, you knew that she would complete the dance. Faith is like the courage to walk across the floor and ask for a dance. Something inside tells you that, if you take that small step into the unknown, you will find what dancing is all about.
