Faith

In church on Sunday one of the readings was from 1 Peter 3 - 9.

³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴ and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, ⁵ who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. ⁶ In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. ⁷ These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. ⁸ Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, ⁹ for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Think about that - 'Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him..." That is faith - not seeing but still believing. It's that faith that has gotten me through a lot of tough times. Knowing that no matter what, God is there watching out for me. His love never fails. And even if things don't go as planned, they go according to God's plan. It's not our place to question, just to believe.

Faith is a HUGE! I'm not sure where I would be without faith. Faith in God, faith in my fiance, family and friends. Faith that one day will lead me to the Father. Faith is believing in things unseen, things that science can't even prove. Faith is something that one must hold on to.
