Faith

Do you trust God?

First of all to trust in God requires faith, the Bible tells us to have faith: (Hebrews 11:6) and without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Faith is, “the theological virtue defined as secure belief in God and a trusting acceptance of God's will.” It is acceptance of what we cannot see but feel deep within our hearts, is a belief that one-day we will stand before our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Also faith is a verb because it means we must act on what we believe. For a Christian, these definitions are not just words on a page; it is a way of life.

Jesus said to us to have faith like a little child. A child will accept what is asked of them and then go and do it. (Mark 10:13-15) People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. {14} when Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. {15} I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

As Christians we do not question what God wants us to do. We just go ahead and do it because we have faith that what we are being asked to do will help further the Kingdom of God here on earth.

In our daily lives we have examples of how put into practice our faith, for instance: Have you ever watched a child who is afraid of water jump off the side of the pool into the arms of a loving parent? What causes that child to jump? It is trust in the parent, but why does the child trust the parent? Could it be because the parent has shown through love that they will not let anything bad happen to the child? God work similar with us, He has shown His love, His patience and His forgiveness through His son Jesus. We need to know that He came to save us, and now He is waiting for us to be with Him in the paradise. Luke 23:43 (And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to you this day you shall be with me in PARADISE) It give us the reference that this man had faith and believed in Jesus, It´s the same we need, to have faith and believe that he exist, also He love us. He doesn`t have preferences to anyone.

Some time ago someone likened faith to the wind: we cannot see the wind; we cannot hear the wind unless it blows against something, and we can only feel the wind when it touches our skin or rustles our hair. Faith is like that wind. We cannot see what we believe in, we cannot hear what we believe in unless we open our eyes to the truth, but we can sure feel that our faith is justified by the joy we feel in our hearts. Remember, in the end, we all put our faith in something, so let it be the truth.
