He still moves stones

It was one of those lazy hazy Sunday where you stayed in bed the whole day. I took the opportunity to read a 'Note from Max Lucado' on Strength.

An example of faith was found on the walls of a concentration camp. On it a prisoner had carved the words:

I believe in the sun, even though it doesn't shine,
I believe in love, even when it isn't shown,
I believe in God, even when he doesn't speak.

I try to imagine the person who etched those words. I try to envision his skeletal hand gripping the broken glass or stone that cut into the wall. I try to imagine his eyes squinting through the darkness as he carved each letter.

What hand could have seen good in such horror?
There is only one answer: Eyes that chose to see the unseen.
