Faith

"Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). That was the lesson that was taught at my weekly bible study. It started me to thinking about my situation because we all hope for something that we can't see. But this thing called faith sometimes is the only thing we have to hold onto. It's the thing that keeps us hoping and giving us the desire to continue on. We can't see the changes in our situation, or the healing that's taking place in our bodies, or the renewing of our minds, but nonetheless we have faith that it's there and it's happening. All we need do for this act of faith to work is to believe that it will and then be patient and allow it to happen. It won't happen overnight, that would be a miracle. But a faith walk will take some time. How much time? No one knows, but again we must have faith that it will happen. There have been many acts of faith that have been documented and told by many people. People walking after many years of not being able to, or someone seeing for the very first time, people suffering with a situation for years and then suddenly being relieved of that situation. There are times in our lives when all of us must exercise a certain measure of faith to get through a situation. Without faith, we have no hope. Without hope, the spirit dies. And when that happens, you're somewhat doomed. So hold on to your faith until the very end.
