Selfless Faith

I don’t need to see it to believe it. I know you are there God. For this feeling of goodness and peace even while I walk through the desert is not something that I can provide for myself. Yet, my Lord, people say they must see You to believe You. Why won’t you reveal yourself to them if that is all they need to believe in you? Oh yes my Lord, it is obvious, they do not mean it. When you did show yourself, they did not believe you; when you died on the cross they did not believe you; when you rose again they did not believe you.

While the heart is hardened, no matter how obvious you appear to them, they will reject You. I know You are the God who provides all of what we need and not necessarily what we may want. You have been faithful to us despite our selfish ways. Although we constantly break our promises and commitments to you, you steadily stand firm on Yours. Why must we be like this Lord? Oh yes, that is right, we are nothing but mere humans and You are God. Lord, it is obvious that you exist. Even the ones who don’t believe in You must believe in You to acknowledge that You don’t exist. Continue reading

In Matthew 28:23-26, Jesus tests the faith of His disciples. We read below.

²³ Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. ²⁴ And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. ²⁵ Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
²⁶ But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

Do you ever feel like you are stuck in the middle of a storm? Do you feel like you are perishing? Well my beloved friends, brothers and sisters in and through the blood of Christ, keep up your faith. Pray that it fails you not. God will not forsake you. He will never leave you. The apostle Paul said to the Colossians he has learned to be content in all situations. We must learn to do the same; to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior King. If we believe He died on the cross, was buried with our sins, and rose again from the dead to give us Eternal Life, Life more abundantly, to the fullest, then is there anything too big that He can’t take care of on our behalf? We must put all of our faith in Jesus Christ; whatever situation or circumstance we encounter, we must be certain that God is with us. His love never ends.
