Faith

"Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see." Hebrews 11:1

Faith seems easy enough when things are going your way...when life is what "you" planned it to be. But what happens when things don't go your way...when life is not what you expected? It's easy for your faith to start diminishing a bit or even rapidly before you know it. Your mind starts thinking what if God is not really for us...or really doesn't want us to have all the things we ever wanted. That's the time we need to re-focus our thoughts not on "ourselves" but on Him. Focus on His will, His love, His desires for us...even though we don't know exactly what He desires for us...IT IS GOOD. God desires good things for us. In this life, it's hard to know, believe, and have faith in this. But it is true - God loves us more than we can ever know.

"...and let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus the champion who initiates and perfects our faith." Hebrews 12:1-2
