Faith

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Sometimes things are so cloudy in your relationship with another that you can't see your way clear. Love is a powerful tool but I believe it takes faith to push you through the tough times. Faith to love a person after they have wronged you. Faith when you've given and given and it appears nothing is being reciprocated. It takes faith to push love over the edge in such a way that you give without the thought of getting anything in return, that's take love, It takes faith to love someone when all you've done is bent over backwards to make sure their every desire and need from you has been fulfilled.but you did it with such ease because love doesn't expect anything in return. You wrong me but I take no notice because I've denied myself, picked up the cross and now my eyes are on Jesus who took on my sins and forgave me. How can I not follow His directions to love others as He loved me. A love that knew no boundaries, a love that came with no strings attached, a love that loved me when I was and am unlovable, a love that isn't tic for tac. He just loves me just like a am with all my struggles, all my insecurities, and all my malfunctions......He loves me just the way I am. but He loves me enough NOT to leave me that way. He changes me from the inside out from day to day as I welcome and invite Him to dwell in this temple that I might be more and more like He is. As He changes me, my heart, my mind, and my spirit I conform to His way and He transforms me into the daughter he called me to be before I was ever formed in my mothers womb. Love, then becomes a part of my character and faith is what I fight each day to keep and exercise it in my life each and every day. Join me in the only battle God ever told us to fight. The good fight of faith and with this one weapon we can do all things through Him as He strengthens us by His power and His might.
