Faith's Eyes

2 Cor 5:6-8

6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 We live by faith, not by sight.
NIV

Faith gives us confidence for we know who we are and where home is. We have direction and a destination. Our walk can then be sure. We are headed for that home. We find our peace in this certainty.

Faith allows us to see beyond the vision afforded by these mortal eyes. It takes us beyond the horizon into the infinite. It gives us the eternal perspective. It gives us a life illuminated by God. His mercy, peace, and love are here. We are not in His presence in heaven, but He is present with us. Faith tells us that it won’t be long.

Give us faith to believe
And faith to receive
Your strength and power
Your love and forgiveness

We give thanks
And praise You
In the Name of Jesus
