How faith automatically comes with an action came to mind because I didn’t really have a title for this blog post, but since I know in the blogging world, one needs a title, the title above circled around in my soul.
A little of my story…
On Tuesday, September 4, 2018, my brother Elton would have celebrated his 33rd birthday.
He was the young man that didn’t fear anything, or it seemed that way on the outside looking into his life. Elton has jumped off of an eighty plus foot cliff into the water, jumped out of an airplane, and turned major curves on his bike when the opportunity presented itself.
With all of that…he lived each day. My brother did what he loved, and he trusted God each time to ‘have his back,’ which is demonstrating faith.
If you are in a place where you are struggling with trusting God with your situation (I FEEL YOU…), know that it doesn’t make you weird, crazy, or all of the other emotions that come to mind when you want to do something, and you struggle with stepping out on faith.
None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still, we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.” ~ Paulo Coelho, Brida
God meets you each day where you are.
You may feel like it’s never going to happen, or you question whether or not you’re making the right decision, the Bible says, your ears shall hear, “this is the way, walk in it.“
As you consume words from the Bible, your soul begins to make the necessary changes that propel you on a path of having the faith needed to see it come to pass…no matter how long it takes.
Wherever you are right now in your life, continue to seek God’s direction because He will guide you. I’m finding each day, that it’s not about stepping out on faith alone, it’s about trusting God to walk with you daily in the beautiful and not so beautiful times in your life.
God sees your desire to keep the faith, so give the gift of grace to yourself…
