Have you ever talked to God to ask for something, but when asking for it you are actually doubting it can ever come to pass, or that God of all God could do such a small thing for you?
I have and I was thinking about the very fact of faith and how it applies to me today.
Faith is much like love, if we hold onto it and never try it, we can never learn what God has for us. See love isn't love until you give it away, because love is not just a feeling, but a choice. Just the same thing as faith, faith is nothing unless you actually act upon it.
We may not be worth Jesus dying on the cross, but He has made us worth it, we are His children and we are His, if I don't make it true for me, then I will not see what He has for me. I have to believe in the very thought that He would give me something worth while and worth it, because He loves me. He is giving me His love, He is giving me life and in Him, He is giving me hope and so much more, but first I have to be willing to except that He did this all for me, for the sinner I am, for the man I am who has let Him down time and time again, He still loves me and in that is the hope that I can love unconditionally just as He loves me.
Who am I that He would love me so much, He knows the number of hairs on my head, He knows even when one falls out, so to He knows when I am full of anxiety and fear, or I am of little faith. With God anything is possible, we are the limit for with God there are no limits, He is Limitless.
Today, take a moment to reflect upon your faith, do you doubt the very things that God has given you? Do you question why? Today stop to thank God for all you have, thank Him for right where He has you, change your perspective from doubting what He has given you, to be thankful for all you have. When we want to change, but don't know how, seek God first in it, ask Him and have a little faith that He will change you, don't allow the devil to say you are worth it, God says you are. Change starts today with you.
I believe if God can change me, He can change you. Remember when Peter walked on the water, when he began to doubt, he started sinking, today trust right where God has you and have a little faith and see where it will take you. God is in it all.
Thank you Geoff for your insights. They are significant and minister to me.
