In this faith that we have, the christian faith, we go through times of doubt and uncertainty. We come to the point where we want to know if we have believed in the right way or have been a victim of an elaborate con job.
At time stage in our lives and faith its worthwhile to remember how we came to know God, and to remember what we were saved from and to remember what we are saved to. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation.
That God does not necessarily need me or you or anyone. That God is love and he has shown that to us in a way that no one has ever before or ever will again because man is incapable of that level of love and faithfulness.
It is worthile to remember that God is good and nothing can separate us from his love and if it seems like he is far, to know that we cannot always trust our feelings but rest in his promises. If he cannot change, and his words are true forever than probably thats all the knowledge we can ever need to go through anything.
It is worthwhile to remember that we reap what sow, be it wheat or tares, that if we are being chastised by the father to remember that those he loves he chastens. To remember when we are angry that anger rests in the bossom of fools and the Lord has no delight in fools, that God is still the almighty as he is our loving father.
Hang in there, for the trial of your faith develops perseverance and perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete not lacking anything.
Father help me to remember you, as you are, everyday. The times are getting harder but i want to hold on to you. Only you are real. Arigaro O-tou san
