One of the hardest things about religion is faith. Believing in something you can’t see, touch, hear or feel.
I’m the type of person who needs to see something before believing in it. Until you bring it in front of me it’s hard to believe it’s true or count on it as such. We live in a world filled with science and scientists trying to prove things exist and how they work, people trying to find explanations for everything. There’s nothing wrong with that.
However there are just things that are hard to explain. That’s where faith comes in.
My life has been filled with little miracles. So small that sometimes you hardly notice it but they’re miracles nonetheless. There are also miracles in my life that are hard to doubt as such.
The biggest miracle in my life is my family. Just the blessing to be born to my parents is a miracle in itself. That’s something science can’t explain. I chalk it up to God just wanting me to be at this particular situation.
There are just a lot of small things here and there that have contributed to how my life is today. Whether it’s a total stranger helping me out or being at the right place at the right time, things happen for a reason. I believe that it’s just God’s way of working to provide the small miracles.
Faith is believing in something absent of proof. I’d like to differ a little, faith is believing in something who’s proof is just not conventional. I have faith in God although I have not seen him personally but I try to examine my life and I see God in the details. He’s in my mom and dad who love me unconditionally. He’s in my brother who helped me when I was starting to come to terms with this disease. He’s in the doctors I see on a regular basis who sacrifice their time to help me as well as countless other patients who can’t afford to pay them. He’s in the honest cab driver who returned what is probably more money than he’ll see in a year to a stranger who left it there. God is in many more small instances that we just don’t notice.
This makes me believe and strengthens my faith that there is a God and he is working in our lives.
