"There is a dark chasm between belief and unbelief. It is known as IF."~priest

I have believed in Jesus many years. It is likely you believe in
Jesus. There are few who do not recognize Jesus. Most of those
described will call themselves Christian. It seems believing is but a
1st step to enjoying a Christ centered life.

Many years ago, there was a man with a son who had incredibly bad
seizures from an early age. They crippled him and there were times
when the seizures drove him to wanting to kill himself. This may even
describe you today. You might just rather be dead than go through
what you are experiencing in life. You believe, but there is no
relief...

This man had unsuccessfully sought relief for his son, likely many
times in his life. Nothing seemed to help, but he continued to hope
and thought, "If only..." Upon successfully negotiating his way
through the crowds surrounding Jesus, he cried out, "If you can, then
heal my son!" Jesus said, "IF?..." The man took an incredible leap of
faith over the chasm of doubt, known as "IF" and shouted,"I believe!".

This was a miraculous event in the man's life. The healing was good,
but the miracle was in the leap the man took across the chasm of "IF".
No man comes to the Father but by Jesus. It is Jesus that enables
you to take the leap across the chasm and into the arms of the Father.
There is great healing in His arms. Miraculous healing found only
through Jesus.

Pray today for God through Jesus, to encourage you to take that
miraculous leap of faith over the dark chasm known as, "IF". Pray,
"Help me to believe." End your prayer with, "I believe".

As for the rest of the story... Begin a new life, receiving the
Kingdom of God as a child, allowing it to live in you and you in it.
