Even Atheists Believe

I've always been a bit of a skeptical person, so the concept of childlike faith has often been lost on me.

But I see it now – the value of looking at my Father through the eyes of a child, that ability to completely trust and know that all will be well, even if I don't completely understand His ways.

When I was younger, I felt that way about my own father, and honestly, I feel that way now. But I know that's a gift, the ability to trust the man who raised you (if he even stayed to do the honor).

But if not, maybe it's harder to grasp the idea of leaning into God completely and fully when there hasn't been a man, a father figure, you can trust in your life.

So why start now?

Honestly, we all believe in something. Even atheists believe (and I've often felt my former collective can believe better than anyone. I mean, it takes a hardcore faith to believe something came out of nothing, especially since that very notion defies the laws of physics).

So what if instead of believing in the media, politicians, the latest fashion, that girl on TikTok, ourselves, we instead believed in something that won't lie to us and let us down?

What if we believed in a good Father, the creator of the universe – an entity that is pure fire and light and the only One capable of making a good thing out of the mess we've created here on earth?

I figure something like that is worth believing in.
