See It

‎"I will see it when I believe it." ~ Dr Wayne Dyer

This is the simple counterpoint to “I’ll believe it when I see it” but it makes me think anew.

We tell our children that “if you believe it, you can achieve it.” And that is true in every aspect of our lives. If there is something you want, you can usually find a way to begin to move towards it, with a plan or an action or a request.

But the quote makes me think of the Word of God and the Heavenly Kingdom. We have our faith to guide us, and it is when we truly believe that we can “see” more clearly. Without faith … without belief … we are adrift. Without faith, we question ourselves and our way in the world. Without faith, we are swayed by the winds of change, the winds of others. Without faith, we can sink into despair.

With true faith, we believe we are children of God and that means everything. We know that we have a place in His Kingdom, a role to play here on earth and a role to play in His history of faith. We are raised by faith and do more good, when we believe. And we will in fact “see it” when we “believe it” … read the Word and pray, for it is the way to clear vision.
