Believe.

I wonder what God would say about my life. 
I wonder if the things I deem important would make him take my face in his hands and say, "Dear, I know you think this is important, but I tell you the truth, I have something better." 

In John 6, Jesus is addressing a crowd in Capernaum. He had just finished telling them not to concern themselves with things like perishable food but to concern themselves with eternal things.
"They replied, 'We want to perform God's works, too. What should we do?' Jesus told them, 'This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.'"

Wow. 
The potential of those words...
I don't just mean the Sunday school, altar call, repeat-a-prayer "I believe," and I'm positive that's not what Jesus meant, either.

I mean, believe. Believe in the one he has sent. 
Belief so deep it alters the pattern of your life. 
That's what Jesus wants.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Goodness, it's the very hardest thing to do, believe, sometimes. Just believe.
