FAITH  IS  . . .
 Author Unknown

Faith is: reliance on the certainty that God has a pattern for my

life when everything seems meaningless...........

Faith is: remembering I am God's priceless treasure when I feel

utterly useless.......

Faith is: depending on the fact that God is Love - not on my ability

to figure out why in the midst of smashed hopes, reversal, and

tragedy....

Faith is: keeping on when I am dog tired, discouraged, disillusioned,

deserted, dusty and dry and I cast on His strength alone.....

Faith is: realizing that I am useful to God, not in spite of my

scars, but because of them.....

Faith is: confidence that God is acting for my highest good when He

answers "No" to my prayers.....

Faith is: accepting the truth that, in spite of the wreckage and grief I've caused,
 
God who has wiped the slate clean and delights in me!

Faith is: recognizing that God is the Lord of time when my idea of

timing doesn't agree with his.......

Faith is: not a vague hope of a happy here after but an assurance of

heaven based on my trust in Christ's death as payment for my sins.....

Faith is: remembering that, though my way is dark as night to me, God

can see and guides me unerringly........

Faith is: doing the right thing regardless of the consequences

knowing God will turn the ultimate effect to good.......

Faith is: the conviction the Promiser keeps His promises.....
