Way back when I was in college, our professor in our thesis class asked us - “if you can change the world, where will you stand?”
A lot of answers were given by my classmates but our professor seemed to be not satisfied.
I got tired of hearing their answers so I raised my hand. Our professor called my name and I answered - “if I could change the world, I will stand at the minds and hearts of the people, I will win their trust first because the world is made of different people and it won't change if I change alone. I have to earn first their trust, and when they finally believe in me, we all could have a common goal of change and so the world will change. A/an technology/idea not applied is useless, and technology/idea could only be applied if people will use it. And people will only use it if they believe and trust in it.”
Silence covered the whole class for a while then suddenly the bell rang for our next class.
Trust is something we always wanted to have but we cannot easily give. It is something that is asking for a proof... but what if there's something that cannot be proven? How can you trust? How can you believe?
So there goes faith. Faith is something more profound, more delicate, a higher form of trust. The highest form of believing.
This is the lesson God wants me learn. To have faith in spite of unbelief and betrayals. To have faith in spite of rational hopelessness. To have faith in spite of unfaithfulness.
The faith that believes that I can do the impossible. The faith that hopes even in the most hopeless situation. The faith that challenges fate until it accepts its defeat.
I've gone too far to return and even farther to quit... but I don't believe he had brought me this far just to leave me.
In God I trust!
