I recently watched Alice In Wonderland, and I must say I enjoyed it much more than I expected. I think my favorite part would have to be the repeated scenes where it was said "I like to believe 6 impossible things before breakfast." I have a great infatuation (as I suppose everyone does) with the plausibility of the impossible. I like to see the impossible happen.
I listened to a sermon today that spoke of faith, and how the gospel seems so impossible that the only way to accept it is by faith. I think my favorite thing about little kids is how they sincerely believe that nothing is impossible. Perhaps that's why we must come to God like a child. Because for a child "impossible" is only something that hasn't happened yet. The older we get the less we believe the impossible because it hasn't happened yet so, we reason, it never will. But who are we to say it won't happen? All we can say is that it hasn't happened yet. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Without faith it is impossible to please God.
So dream, believe. Don't be afraid of believing something because it hasn't been proven, for how can you prove it unless you first believe it? Do you dream to fly? Or perhaps aspire to sing like an angel? Perhaps it's because you were meant to, and you will, but not yet. At last we come to discover that it is a paradox even to believe the impossible, for with God all things are possible. So believe, dream, imagine. If you desire the "impossible" don't think yourself silly. Desire it. It may just come true. Be a child, believe, have faith, throw away your pride. Impossible? Hardly. It is but an opportunity to prove it's possibility.
