How often do we utter these words in conversation. I believe that this and that will happen. Or I believe so and so will do this soon. Or I believe that ... ... ...
When we say "I believe" we are relying on our instinct, gut feelings, inner soul, intuition or whatever else you wish to call it; together with a degree of facts we know about. It is mostly instinct or intuition rather than fact. Some may call it faith. To believe something without really knowing it for sure. You know what it's like ... you believe in something, or that something will happen.
How about this: I believe in God.
What?
You believe in something or Someone you have not seen and have only read about in books and hearsay? Is hearsay admissible in Court? How can you believe without any proof whatsoever? You believe blindly and call it faith.
To have faith is to believe when your common sense tells you not to.
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray someone will come to show the way
I believe, I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
...we all pick and choose what we want to believe,
