He can

God is not looking for people who believe they can. He is looking for people who believe He can.

For instance, it is not about our ability to hear Him, but His ability to speak to us.

When we say nothing is impossible with Him (no word from God will ever fail), how much of it do we actually believe?

It's also not about your ability to believe. Let go of that. Life's better that way.

Let His love convince you to believe.

Love empowers us to have faith. Experiencing His love -- the reality, rawness and intensity of the encounter -- causes our faith in His goodness, His power, His grace to explode.

Faith empowers us to hope. Knowing His goodness, His power, His grace causes us to dream wilder, crazier dreams. It gives us courage to move despite our fears, to take risks and not be afraid of falling.

Our risks open us to the wildest, uncontrollable, sweetest experience of His love, satisfying the deepest hunger of our hearts, ruining us forever. It cannot come by any other way. And we thirst desperately for more.

Love begets Faith begets Hope begets Love.

'And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.'
