For young children at Christmas time, their belief is in Santa Claus. They look forward to going to see Santa and tell him what they want for Christmas. On Christmas Eve they prepare a delicious plate of cookies for Santa with milk and carrots for his reindeer.

Children’s belief system in things they do not see is much stronger than adults’. As adults, we have gone through the rigors of life and so if something is not feasible to our thought process or not man-made that we can clearly see our belief is almost nil.
Roller Coasters have become one of the mandatory rides for thrill-seekers whenever they visit amusement parks. They have become an engineering marvel, and have been constructed to be taller, faster, and wilder than ever. Why is it though we climb into the roller coaster giddy, sweaty, pumped with adrenaline and belief that the ride will be awesome! We never have a wavering belief that our feet will never land safely on solid ground within 3 1/2 to 4 minutes after the inception of the ride. So, if we are so confident and stable and grounded in our belief in a man-made steel object why is our belief so flimsy in our creator?

In the famed movie “The Wizard of Oz”, the good witch Glinda told Dorothy that she needed to believe. In the bible in the book of Matthew, it says, “And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” If you can only have belief in what can be seen and not in the things that are unseen, you will never thrive in life. Mary Jesus earthly mother believed that he could do miracles and that is why she told the disciples to do whatever he instructed them to do at the party when he turned water into wine.
When you enlarge your belief, you enlarge your life.
