The Gift of Grace

Faith, is the gift of grace. It's is the eye from God, to see God as Father, to know Him as a covenant God, to experience His love planted in us. It's is the grace of union. It casts our anchor upwards to where we trust. It tells us what our senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see, is just above.

A childlike faith, faith that can move mountain, faith that holds on no matter what. To know this Faith, one has to know the Giver of Faith - God.

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) or the New Living Translation says:

"Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see."

Faith is accompanied by confidence. The assurance.

It is believing and certain that the sun will rise in the morning despite the whacking thunderstorm in the night. It's believing that the raging sea waters will calm when the wind stops.

Someone once said, faith is not believing that God can, it is knowing that He will. It is not knowing what the future holds, but knowing who holds the future. God it is.

Unwavering faith in God gives us the strength to believe that God will bring it to past, that He will deliver, that He will fulfill his promises, that He is coming soon.

So, never let our faith slumber or sleep. For when it sleeps, our heart is fount of every loathsome desire, accumulating lusts, growing the deadly fruit and walking away from God. We are losing life.

So awake my Faith, put forth your strength until all heaven fills my soul, till I see You.
