Faith






A dialog between Sarah and I

Sarah: Mom, have you ever thought that people made things up that we believe?

Mom: What do you mean?

Sarah: Like a miracle.

Mom: Like what miracle?

Sarah: The miracle of Jesus.

Mom: Do yo mean like he doesn't exist?

Sarah: ya

Mom: (pause, and stall for time to think) Why are asking that?

Sarah: Well, sometimes I just think dose Jesus really exist and when we die do we go to heaven or are we just nowhere?

Mom: Well, Sarah that's called Faith. I can't prove that Jesus or heaven exists but I just know in my heart that Jesus exists and that one day when I die I will go to heave. We all have doubts now and then so the next time you have doubts just say a prayer and ask God to help you to have a strong faith in him.

Sarah: Ok, thanks Mom.

Oh man! Don't you just want to transplant a little of your faith into her so she can just know without figuring it out for herself!
