Faith...what is it, how dose it work, why is it so hard at times! I was doing my devotional the other day and I was heard a quote that blew me away.. "God tries our faith so that we may try His faithfulness" ...I had never thought about it that way. That God's not trying us to get to us he wanting us to learn about his faithfulness. as well as teach us and grow is in our weak areas.
I remeber about 5 to 6 months ago being in such a time of need and arguing with God and challenging me....pouring out my hurt, pain, and confussion to Him. By the end was asked him to help me with my faith. I wanted to grow and have more and be the best that I could be with Gods help. But then when trail came I got a little down. and little discouraged...but I kept on going. I knew that God was with me and teaching me to have faith and just believe....but then a month went by, and another and another, until just about 4 or 5 days ago I am again very low and unsure of who I am and if I have can have faith....and I hear the quote, " God tries our faith so that we may try His fatithfulness.... it's a two way thing. I am not just going through something I am challenging God to be faithful, loving and caring. And am I looking for that...I am able to call God on it and say wow you have been so faithful...and it really sink in? No I haven't...because I have been so rapped up in me...poor me this is to hard I can't do it..that I am not tring God's faithfulness.
We need to remember just like a marriage, dating couple. or best firends...... God is needing us to be open and honest and willing to trust, just as much as we need him to love on us, care for us, and prove just how much he loves us. Something so simple but yet can be so complex at the same time.
