Laying back, Michelangelo’s brush swept natural pigments of revered frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The monastery of Saint Anthony the Great of Lebanon in the Qadisha Valley was carved into a rocky side of a cliff. An inaccessible area chosen for its safe seclusion.
These incredible achievements, from the famous to the hidden, were inspired by faith. We can find examples of unbelievable masterpieces spanning all religions, devotions, and cultures from the unreachable to within eye’s view. It’s faith as great as a mustard seed that moved those mountains of magnificence.
The dedication is to bring us closer to the divine. To let a sacred grasp of spirituality fulfill our souls. And no matter what religion or belief, we admire with wonder at their beauty.
Going beyond the rites, rituals, and stories that differ, we are enlightened by the message of hope’s blessing, the depth of meaning, and the safety of contentment.
The human mediation connects us to faith’s mysterious certainty. The devoted architects of these enduring symbols built glorious designs with grueling hands and heartfelt emotions.
It’s amazing how a little faith bounded with abundant generosity creates infinite possibilities that defy limits.
If they aspired to honor, express, atone, or appease, when the will is present, the inspiration flows. We are enriched by the Stonehenge enigma, the harmony of the Ellora Caves in India, the powerful Mozart symphony. The stylized Arabic calligraphy, or the exceptional Aztec stone carvings feed intense longing for devout belonging.
Faith intensifies our intellectual stories and miracle testimonies, our enlightened cosmos and magical colors of earth. All boldly through ingenious feats of marvel.
So imagine if, in our precious moment, with our able body, our analytical mind, our feeling heart, and our conscious soul, we have faith in ourselves? The power of faith isn’t reserved solely for divine creation. The power of faith can also divinely create our self. Imagine that.
