Very well written Grace. In fact, I was just thinking about having faith just before I read your post. Which brings me to some points I've been pondering about faith that maybe you'd like to post about. Everyone has faith in something or other and I think we can agree that there are different types and/or degrees of faith. Question: How does one actually know whether or not we should have faith in something or not? Obviously, having a strong faith in God and what he can do/has done is a good thing, but there seems to be good faith and bad faith which we, as humans cannot always detect. An extreme example, The people who boarded the Titanic all had faith that the Titanic was an unsinkable ship, so did they have bad or misplaced faith? Your thoughts and comments always welcome Grace and I always look forward to your responses.
@IM5688 Great question! You always bring up the best questions. I love that, and the challenge it brings. In this case, I think it's important to write a post, as you suggested. Then I'll include the link here, when I'm finished. And here it is:
Your post just made my day more cheerful. Nothing's better than reading this post with a cup of coffee at your table waiting on a bus station.
And remembering how beautifully faith works as I have experienced this number of times. Thank you Grace. The story of Nehemiah is truly inspiring. Thank you for taking your time to jot it down for us to read.
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong..."
