Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”[SUP]28 [/SUP]Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

When we are connected intimately with Christ, there is nothing we can read or
hear that will challenge our faith in Him. We no longer need proof or miracles
because we are one with Him
For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who won't believe,
no proof is possible
