Faith cannot be felt, but can be seen and grown

What is Faith?
Faith is that glimmer of hope that burns in your soul, that is yet to be seen

Faith is the mustard seed of steadfastness, that could move mountains of obstacles

Faith is the shimmering shield that you carry as your armor to bounce back the fiery darts of the enemy

Faith is believing; believing God for who He is and what He can do

Faith is patience; patient in waiting for God to act

Faith is courageous; courageous  in doing the right, and going forward with God given strength

Faith is Abraham-the man who didn't back away when God asked him to sacrifice his beloved son

Faith is Mary-the young woman who surrendered to God's will to become pregnant knowing well the cost and ridicule she'd face in her community

Faith is the woman who was told no hope, yet reached out and touched the hem of Jesus robe

Faith is not at all the fussy feeling that goes up and down to suit your moods

Faith is the foundation that keeps you and me alive when things around go swirling

Faith is something that grows with intimacy-Intimacy with the LORD!

  2. I never really stopped to think that faith is something seen.... but of course.... we see it through the actions of those who have faith.

    Thanks for sharing!
