It is so important right now to have faith. Nevertheless, faith alone is not enough, it is who you put your faith in. Men have created many answers and an appearance of solutions to many of life’s problems, but they have no power. Science can present evidence but faith is the substance of the thing you hope for and the evidence of things you can’t see. So, in essence, faith is the evidence that whatever you desire or hope for is done because your faith is not alone nor in the intellect of man or things but wrapped up in the power of God. Now let us remember when we refer to man, we are not always referring to an outsider, sometimes the “man” is ourselves, male or female. We often times believe in our intellect or methods of accomplishing, but let us be honest. We have let ourselves down on many occasions, but God won’t let you down.
My mother blessed me with this analogy some years ago and I would like to share…. It’s like having a bullet and a gun. A bullet is nothing without a gun. For instance, if I throw a bullet at someone it does not have the same effect, but if I put it in the gun and fire it, it will do some damage. That is a demonstration of faith in God. God is the gun that catapults your faith to penetrate the thing being hoped for, resulting in an impact of manifestation. However, faith in man is like throwing the bullet with your hand, nothing happens…..So keep the faith, and keep it in the power of God!!
Today is a day of powerful faith!!!!
Have a great day!!!!

Faith-Still Alive
The night falls, a lonely heart callsFor someone to guide it through the darkening hallsOf depression, and into the light of dayBut no-one’s coming to show the waySo the heart within slowly turns to stoneKnowing it will be eternally aloneTrapped in shadow, hopelessly lost on the trailWatching this life disperse and derail
Each day passes the same, the faith fades awayNot even the reflecting beauty of the bayCan change the mind - but who’s to saySomeone won’t come along to where they layTake them by the hand, lift them up off the groundWhisper in their ear, tell them that they have foundThe one to which their heart does belongAs the choir of angels burst into song-
