Thinking that something which is not real is going to happen is called crazy.
Believing that something that is not real is going to happen is called faith.
Faith and crazy have a lot in common.
This is why, over the centuries, many who thought they were moving in faith ended up looking crazy—and there were those deemed crazy who historically are proclaimed people of faith.
The difference between faith and crazy is what energizes them.
Crazy is energized by fear—fear of rejection, fear of the future, fear of other human beings, or fear of responsibility.
Faith works by love—an appreciation for opportunity, a deep respect for other humans, and a desire to take what is given and work with it.
So how do I know I have the hands of faith instead of the mitts of crazy?
It’s the energy that comes off me, which will tell you whether I’m being controlled by fear or motivated by love.
There’s a story in the Good Book which says a woman touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and was healed because “virtue came forth from him.” There was so much energy of love, hope and faith that it literally radiated from him into her body.
Sounds a little weird, doesn’t it? But we actually refer to it all the time:
- “I pick up a good vibe from you.”
- “You have a great aura.”
- “When you’re in the room, I feel like everything is possible.”
- “You make things pleasant.”
- “You make things work.”
- “You help me believe.”
The power of touch includes the ability to generate the energy of love, which is able to be transferred from one person to another.
Yes—we can infuse our authority and power into another human being.
Yes—faith and love can be passed along, just as we know that craziness and fear can ricochet through mob, turning them into killers.
I’m on a journey to make sure that my faith is not crazy by confirming every day that it is fed by love instead of fear.
