Faith. who am I? and what am I doing? why?

What does it mean to have faith, and what does it mean to live with faith in the lord. Faith itself is never a bad thing, it's just that everyone has faith. I have faith, you have faith, we all have faith. Faith In the Lord is not something that everyone shares. Its a faith unlike all other faiths, It isn't like the faith I have in this couch that I'm sitting on, that it will hold me up. It's a much deeper, sought for, true faith. The fact that I am placing my entire life in the hands of god, requires faith beyond anything that i could have imagined just a short time ago. I feel like nothing can bring me down, I find it awesome. awe inspiring even. To say, "If I trust in god to take care of me, he will." Is not something that many people understand. I found a while back that, those who place their faith in the people around them will come up empty and short changed. Nothing will ever feel as good as it should, no one will ever measure up. It's not because they aren't trying or because they are failing. It's just that the only one who can truly make you happy, or allow you to share your happiness with others; is god. I kind of feel like, god allows me to understand love, trust, kindness, forgiveness, and humanity in general. It's like all of a sudden I get it more than I ever would have before or ever could have without god. Every time I have a feeling, I know that its true, because of the fact that I feel that feeling in a greater sense, for god. I can love, because I love god with all of my heart; and it is a true love. I can forgive because I can sincerly ask god for forgiveness and know that I recieve it without question. I can be kind, for the lord is kind to me. I can trust, because the lords trust is in my heart. I can believe in humanity, because the lord loves us with all of his heart, and placed the best of himself all around us and within us. I am sure, because God is sure.

Suerte,
David

Well said. This is all so true. God is so amazing beyond any word imaginable. And I'm so glad that you're faith with God has grown into an incredible relationship and it's so important to keep that relationship strong because like any other relationship with a person it can fall out of place. You must work for your relationship with God and you're obviously truly doing it so I'm really proud of you.
