Faith

Faith is belief and trust in God, knowing God is real even though you can't see Him. In Hebrews 11:1, it says: Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. When you have faith, there are no ifs ands or buts about what you can do. Any and everything is possible. Consider this: Do you have little faith or complete faith? Little faith gets us nowhere in fulfilling the purpose God has for our lives. In Matthew 17:20, Jesus said to his disciples, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to there and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." When you have complete faith, you are one with the Father and Jesus Christ, and you are receptive to the Holy Spirit-you are willing to go through test and trials and not be defeated. It is certainly difficult for man to follow the Lord, but it comes to a point where enough is enough and you learn to abandon yourself to God in total surrender. You give it all to Him, desire His presence daily, and work out what God works in you. You realize that your best isn't good enough without Him. By having complete faith, you trust in God completely to see you through every situation and circumstance and you take on new opportunites he reveals to you. Today are you willing to say: I must be daring enough to invest my faith in the character of God!!!
