Faith

Every stressful situation in our life gives us an opportunity to turn to God in a relational faith and free us from the false ideas that we have accepted.  God is at work within us maturing our character helping us rid ourselves of the false ideas and formulas that make us feel comfortable but hinder true growth.  The molding of faith is the process of ridding ourselves of all the ideas and formulas that religious culture has formed in us or that we have formed and come to accept as truth.  Faith will come to him who passionately yearns for ultimate meaning.  Faith is the fruit of a seed planted in the depth of a lifetime of ups and downs.  The greatest obstacle to faith is to settle for half-truths and half-realities.  The Hebrew writer stated:   “But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.”-Hebrews 10:38-39  Faith walks into the future of uncertainties trusting in God for what only He can do.  A relational faith with God that is not static but moves forward healing the soul.
