The Miracle of Faith

The strong wind is blowing continuously outside, as temperatures drop below freezing. The slushy driveway of this afternoon has iced over, and the car is safe in the garage. The warmth of my husband’s office – where the door remains closed to keep heat from escaping, is warm and toasty.

The difference between the frigidness outside the house and the pleasantness inside, symbolizes the difference between the physical and spiritual worlds. The physical world we live in can be harsh, cold and threatening. Christ’s realm is joyful, comforting and protective.

Every day we have a choice. We can let the bitterness of wrongdoings, the frigidness of angry words or the harshness of unforgiveness in people and situations around us, pull us down, or we can snuggle under the warm, protective safety of God’s wings. Choosing the later, is the miracle of faith. For where our thoughts are, our heart is.
