"For we walk by faith, not by sight" 2 Corinthians 5:7
Faith-to trust. 1. unquestioning belief, specific. in God, a religion, etc. 2. a particular religion 3. a complete trust or confidence 4. loyalty
My faith is the only unshakable constant in my life. No matter where I've walked or what I've done; my faith has been there. I honestly cannot imagine life with no faith. I have leaned on my faith for everything. That my faith has been loyal to me is beyond question. I completely and totally trust that walking in faith is the only way to live.
I am so secure in the knowledge that God leads me, watches over me, protects me and teaches me. That He loves me is the most amazing treasure I have. He is my Abba, my daddy, and I am his child. What a daddy to have loving me-me, the one who lets Him down. How can He love so loyally when we hurt His heart so often? I have a childlike love for Him, and with all my heart do believe that He knows my heart and forgives me daily, like we forgive our children. To know His arm is wrapped around my shoulder as I walk through each day, or that His arms hold me tightly when my heart hurts so badly-is the joy of my soul. I believe that I make my Abba laugh on many occasions and I love the imaginary picture I have of Him in my mind's eye. His eyes shine so brightly with love and laughter, He is beautiful, handsome-although I cannot really tell you what He looks like. That He has been faithful to me, never leaving my side is amazing. I love Him with my whole heart, mind and soul. Each day, I wake looking for my Abba, asking Him what I can do today to grow in faith, to reach out and touch someone for Him. What would He have me do today to ease some one's pain, or to show them His loving heart.
I am so very blessed to know such a magnificent God. A God who accepts me for who I am. A most patient God, that waits for me to grow in Him. A loving God, who showers me with His love and blessings. A faithful God, who never leaves my side. A humorous God, who makes me laugh-and brings resounding joy to my heart, my lips. A fearless God, who gives me shelter and safety in His loving arms. Thank you Abba, for loving me and for being my most precious treasure.
