On Faith Hope and Love

The word has told us what defines freedom. The word has shown us the narrow path that leads to that Great revalation. It's simple. You only need believe in the Grace. You simply need to believe Jesus and what he says about himself. We have heard this before...it's an old lesson. But who has faith? Who has faith like Abraham? I ask who has faith? It's a matter of the unseen, of the heart, not that of the world. Therefore the only judge of faith is the author and perfector of it. I know my faith is small, but I hold it high in my life. I believe that on a very real level it is what sustains my very existence and I pray that others might see that. HAVE FAITH, and he will show you freedom. Check out these lyrics....Sometimes when people ask me to explain my Faith, it's beyond me. That's because it is. These lyrics from Nicole Nordeman's "Fool for you" explain it best. "They wan't proof of all these miracles I claim, cause only fools believe that men can walk on waves... Unaware of popularity, and unconcerned with dignity, you made me free. Thats proof enough for me." I love it, unconcerned with dignity, Jesus made us free, and thats proof enough for me. That's truly how I feel and I plan on living a life that shows its more than enough for me. I love the word Hope and its use in our Christian walk. There will be times in life when all of us will be down and out. There will be times in life when we are under attack, when we feel weak, and when we become our humanly selves. Rejoice! For this is when we can show God our earnest hearts for him. We live in a fallen world, and the depth of the fall is so great, and so strong, but the mighty arm of God will surely deliver those whom he loves. The word of our creator tells us in Isaiah 40:31 that those who hope in the Lord will gain new strength, they will mount with wings like eagles, though they run they do not grow tired, and though they walk they will not grow weary. Pursue God through those tough times in life. If you run for him in those times when Hope is all we have to hold onto, than you will gain new strength, and God Almighty will not let you grow tired. If we muster only enough to walk towards God at a moderate pace, we will not become weary and doubtful. If we wait for him, hope for him, he will give us new wings, and we will soar in Glorification of all that he is in our lives. Make no doubts, have all faith, that birth of Christ's character through hope in him is a powerful testimony to the world, one in which I believe the world needs to see. We all have friends who Hope for something, show them in your life that if they place this Hope in God, he will surely deliver them unto his Love and Faith. Freedom attained, Glory to God. Oh, that we might see him for who he is would be the defineing moment of our souls. Such would be a moment of nostalgia, where we see that we are home in his arms where we have longed to be. How can words even begin to explain the greastest of these, of this wonderful all-pierceing, all-knowing, and complete love. It is beyond words, it is a matter of the spirit and it's groaning in each of us. Certainly we can all relate to the longing, a longing to know and be known, a longing for that deep intimacy that we all have been created to have. Oh to find Love is to find life and to find it abundantly. Ive heart it said that one drop of the wrath of God could destory the world, its only a saying, but it strikes a chord with me. Not because I beleive iin a wrathful God, though he does hate sin, but because I believe in a Loving God, whom SHOWERS us with that Love. If one drop of his wrath can destroy the world, Imagine what showers of his Love can do! He says come to him, all who are weary, all who are tired, and he will give you rest. He will give you love. It is only this simple. And yet why do so many find this hard to believe? I ask, do you believe in perfection? Perfection will come, and when it does, the imperfect dissappears, God is Perfect, and he is Love. The two are the same and one is the other. Oh we all must walk our path, because to us, perception is reality. Yet heed that the Lord see's all, and he knows our hearts. That fulfillment we search for has become complete, the moment our perception falls into his truth, that this love has already arrived, that it has been here all along, and all we have to do is believe. I say BELIEVE because he has arrived. Call to him, may your heart cry "Oh God of Righteousness" and he will relieve you in your distress. Call with all heart. "Arise! Oh Lord; save me, Oh my God!" and He will answer, he will say. Be still, and know that I am God. Love is found in this place, where we become complete in his perfect Grace and Love. He is the only fulfillment..no man, no woman, nothing can share his Glory. He is God to one, and God to all. He is Love, and in him is Life. All that is good are his blessings come. Praise him forevermore!
