Faith



Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
.:Hebrews 11:1:.


The beginning of faith is believing in God's character - God is who He says He is.
The end point of faith is believing in God's promises - He will do what He says.

True Faith is when we believe that God will fulfill His promises even though we don't see those promises materializing yet.

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.
.:John 20:29:.


Faith is something that we talk about all the time, oh yeah I have faith that this will happen or I have faith in you... But faith has such a bigger meaning. Faith is being absolutely surrendered, 100% out of control and putting God 100% in control. I can say that I don't have absolute faith that God will provide the desires of my heart, and that is something I definitely need to work on and pray about. I have been for about a week now, just absolutely surrendering everything to Him and I have never felt so fearless and so full of freedom. When we surrender everything to the Lord and simply go after His heart we are at such an amazing peace. The only thing that matters in this life is Christ, being fully enveloped by Him and His grace is the best place to be. We all have struggles and fears, the most amazing thing about Christ is He tells us to give them all to Him.

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
.:1 Peter 5:7:.


Carrying your worries, stresses, and daily struggles by yourself shows that you have not trusted God fully with your life.



God cares about us so much, He took all of our sin and placed it on Himself on the cross and now after that He is saying, "Hey, all the pain, worries, struggles, and fears you have...I'll take that too. Don't worry." How can we not be in love with Him? He is the most selfless and caring Father anyone could ever imagine. Cast Your cares on Him, for He cares for You.

The most beautiful thing about a person is absolute surrender to their King, let God take the reigns in your life, you won't be disappointed.
