Believing isn't seeing

Faith- it's like the wind, you can't see it, but you can feel it... Seeing is believing, but faith is believing in what you do not see. A picture is worth a thousand words, but faith has no need for proof, it goes beyond any sensation or feeling, it is a knowing without the need of confirmation.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." ~Proverbs 3:5 It's hard and confusing living a life that isn't all mapped out before you, there's unexpected turns at every corner, and it definitely doesn't always go according to our plans. Sometimes it goes completely opposite. We don't know the future, and it can be scary, like walking through the dark, without a light switch to turn on so that you can find your way exactly how you want it. But, we fail to recognize, that we don't need one, because if we let Him, we have Someone who will take our hand and guide us in the right directed. We aren't in control, so why do we pretend to be? Trust is the confident expectation of something, a hope, a belief, a faith. Although we don't have a life that always goes the way we plan, we do have a life that goes exactly in accordance to God's plan. And that plan is much greater than anything we could ever come up with. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose." ~Romans 8:28 It may seem confusing at times, but only because we are only looking at a mere fragment, while God has the big picture. "Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known." ~1 Corinthians 13:12 We don't need to have everything all figured out, because God already does. All we need is faith.
