Faith on Water

Life is funny sometimes, and what shapes our beliefs stranger still
We see God as this huge, unobtainable being
When the reality is that He’s so much closer
Than we often choose to believe

And our minds can seldom comprehend
Conceptions outside our perceived scope of reason
We try to see the deep, dark forest for the trees
When what we really need is to view the lone trees themselves

When we think of faith, we picture some large-scale
Off-the-chart event, some earth-shattering,
Mountain-moving experience, instead of being
The size of a mustard seed

And where we look for faith is funny too
We look for it in the clouds and in the cosmos
In wherever we perceive Heaven being located
When it’s so much more simplified than that

Faith isn’t in the events of life
Faith IS the event--the stuff of life
Not in the walking on water and waves
But the faith we crave is on the water itself

Remember that what we place our faith in
Whatever we label faith as being in the end
Is not what’s truly important in the cosmic scheme of things
But in something as simple as our humanity and grasp of faith on water
