I Have Faith
I am a believer of the good for the most part, and I have had several people ask me a question over the last 5 months of my life; Are you a CHRISTIAN? I never spoke a word, or proclaimed anything remotely hinged on my spiritual belief, I simply shared with each person a seed. I let God use me. I know people in all walks of life, some have recovered from drugs, alcohol, mental abuse, physical and emotional abuse, but has there been any religious abuse? YES! A lot of people tend to want something to believe in, search for answers and turn so many ways, but at the end of my day, I often wonder, did I show them by my actions or just my words? In life, you only get one chance, one day at a time. I have asked God for numerous opportunities to witness, (some days and people were more challenging than others).. yet I continue to press on. I have been through many miles of questions myself; asking God why, or why me? I get the response, why not you? Is anything really that hard with Jesus? I look at the lifestyle of many Hollywood actors, some started out good, others had a horrible finish, still some are staying faithful..
Where does this leave me? In the midst of my struggles, I still cry out to Jesus, I still have faith to grow and learn and express my RELATIONSHIP with him, not my religion of a "Known" god. Being a firm faith walker, I use my talents one day at a time that the master has instilled in me, and I allow him to guard my heart and guide my lips. I want to be like Jesus in the manner of speech, so I no longer cuss or say bad words like I did before my salvation of transformation.
I do not participate in certain areas of "LIFE" like the world does, but still I have my faults and failures. I too, wish to enjoy a peaceful life and be the best me I can be, but how can I obtain holiness, sanctification, justification, and maturity? I must first acknowledge Jesus Christ as my own personal, intimate Lord and savior, then ask his forgiveness of all my past, present, and future sins, then I allow him to change me from the inside out. I have learned that when we get our life right with him first, and we focus on the eternal destination, the life on earth humbles us. Don't take your life for granted. Search for him, you will find him, seek out his will for you own life and in time you will help others find him too. Stay strong, stay faithful, stay in your bible. Faith is by the continuous understanding that you are almost done with your journey, keep the joy. Blessings my friends! If you need a supportive ear, I am here praying for ya! Did you know in Ephesians , the bible talks about the armor of God? It tells us to put on the Helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, sword of the spirit, and the sandals of peace; but the only thing it doesn't tell us is to shield our backs; do you know why? Because that is where our brothers and sisters in Christ got our backs in prayer! They are to help us lift up and defend each other and serve the Lord together! Praying for ya, standing in the gap with ya, I ask God to surround you and protect you everyday! Stay strong Soldiers of the cross, our journey is almost complete!
