...
There can be miracle when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
There can be miracle you can achieve
When you believe somehow you will
You will when You believe
This chorus must have been very familiar in your ears. Yes, it is from "When You Believe" popularized by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. This song has given a great influence all over the world, including me. It spreads the possibility in having faith in something, that miracle can do happen.
Having faith in something is not as easy as saying the word, especially when you can not see what you have to believe. I sometimes get difficult to believe my friend when he says that he's going to pay all his debt to me. Ha...just kidding. The point is, we often can't trust things we meet everyday, we see with our own eyes, we touch with our own hands... and now we are demanded to believe in things we can't meet everyday, we can't see with our own eyes, we can't touch with our own hands? It's certainly a very hard thing to do.
After Jesus passed away, Thomas and the other disciples were terrified and hopeless. They didn't know what to do, they even forgot when Jesus said that He would live again on the third day. Why? Because they couldn't find Him beside them, because He didn't speak to encourage them anymore, because without His presence, it was hard for them to trust Him. No wonder Jesus allowed Thomas to touch Him when He suddenly appeared among them; He wanted Thomas to make sure that his heart (his faith) didn't fail him. But, what did Jesus say to all of them? "...blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
Jesus wants us to understand that everything in Him is beyond our imagination and expectation. And since we're still living in this perishable world, He teaches us to believe Him although we can't see or touch Him. Our God is able to do everything, but all the He asks from us is faith; that is the only way so that "the beyond things" come to our life.
Do you have problem with your health? Do you have problem with your family? Do you have problem with your future? I can't give you way out, but He can. All you have to do is believe. Miracle can happen, as long as you believe.
Dear God, give me faith. I really don't know what to do now. All that I have is You. Thank you for the freedom that You give. Thank you for that the solution that You make. Thank you for the answer. Even though I can't see it right now, I believe that You have worked it for me. In the name of Jesus, the only answer that I need, Amen.

Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
