A Word on Faith

I crafted a really great post on faith early this morning while I was in that half awake state! Unfortunately when I woke up fully, I couldn’t remember what it was about . So here I sit after church, still clueless about what to write so I guess I’ll just babble…

Faith is a funny thing. For me, it’s easy to have faith. To believe in a supreme God, a loving God who sent his son Jesus to die for me. Yet it’s often times hard to live out my faith.

I claim to be a follower of Christ but often times there’s no evidence of my faith, especially in regards to my family. More often I am short tempered, impatient and unforgiving (in the moment.) More often my sin is so obvious and my faith so invisible. More often I go through the motions of life, talking with my God and savior on a daily basis, but rarely letting their influence rub off on my life. Why is that? Am I so thick headed that it’ll take another forty years for me to get through the desert.

I hope not.

Thankfully, God is forgiving and full of Grace. (unlike people and family at times) He meets me where I’m at, and all I can do is repent, move on and pray I’ll do better the next time!
