Faith… the word seems easy, but living a life out of it is really tough. But that is what we are expected to do as a Christian. To move mountains not with strength but with faith. As complicated as it sounds, it’s not about our work… it’s not about our efforts… it’s not about anything that requires energy. if it does not require energy, how can we say it is tough?? 😜😜 this got much more complicated, isn’t it? Last Sunday in my church I heard my priest preach something very different about faith, which helped me understand the concept better!! ” Faith is the art of believing the unseen” His words startled me for a moment…! what!! An art…really?? 😂😂 As crazy as it sounds, it is definitely an art… it is like seeing something very clearly when it doesn’t exist… that’s exactly what Hebrews 11:1 teach us about. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. It’s like looking at a tumor and saying there is no tumor. Because that’s what the truth is!! Jesus paid it all!! Jesus didn’t die on the cross in vain… He did it so it shall fulfill the purpose of delivering us from all kinds of bondages in our life. And it works!! Trust me… it does! I was just a small kid who was suffering from very severe atopic dermatitis until recently… that is when God healed me. I had to suffer almost all my childhood and teenage with that disastrous disease that persecuted me inside out. And every single doctor that treated me said this disease is for a lifetime…there is no cure. I was devastated… if what they said was true I definitely have no future… it is better for me to die than to live a life like hell. That’s what the enemy told me. I was broken … but then somehow I had hope… that came from the holy spirit which helped me proclaim faith over my skin disease. In a situation where a teenage girl has no chance of having hope… I had hope! You do not understand what I mean… my situation was utterly hopeless…but I had hope! Which made me realize I was not alone. Nobody taught her…but that young girl proclaimed faith over her life. She kept declaring that ” I have beautiful and soft skin” by looking at the ugliest skin she could ever imagine! yet nothing happened…. years passed… nothing happened… but she didn’t give up! each time she sits down with pain and agony about her skin, she kept declaring it! And then… slowly… things started to change…her skin disease started to go away… until all that’s left is some scars which will help people believe that she once had a skin disease! look!! that’s how faith works… we keep declaring it until we see it…we don’t stop…we don’t give up… we keep FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH!!
The most interesting thing here is this courage… this fierce heart to keep fighting… is it by some kind of exercise… like we go to the gym to get a good body or some kind of training… or some kind of work??? The answer is NO!! Surprised huh??😎😎 it’s not by our works dear friend … it’s by Grace. If we try to do it on our own we will fail… Because we are mere humans… we have limitations… that’s why we should ask for grace!! that little girl (that’s me, hehe🤣🤣) had no idea what she was doing is the good fight of faith. All she knew was that her Daddy paid it all for her on the cross…and she doesn’t have to bear it any longer. And she would tell her Father in heaven how hard her life is and how hard it is to move on… An open conversation between a father and a daughter which finally filled the daughter with grace which helped her to fight for what belonged to her. It is as simple as it sounds but really very hard when you are struggling. But with God, with His grace………………………….. all things are possible!!
that’s all for today❤️❤️
