LIVING BY FAITH AND TRUST



FAITH is important to everyone, it is a wonderful feeling inside you that will embrace you not just in good fun times but mostly it will embrace you too in times of sadness , pain and sorrow. Why do we often neglect this wonderful feeling inside? , Why do we sometimes take this feelings for granted and put aside, FAith make us strong as a person , make us one with God, How strong is our Faith?, Do we have strong foundation of this feeling even at times when everything is almost without hope. Let us understand FAITH in a very simple way, We need FAITH everyday. we need FAITH in everything we do, we need Faith in everything we say and we need FAITH to hold on to love . FAITH is the key to open your heart. You need FAITH to open your mind . And most of all Faith is for GOD , HIS GLORY AND HIS LOVE.
Most of us trust more our knowledge, the earthly knowledge that is common and with limitations , where does FAITH resides ,is it in your brain, or in your heart , FAITH resides in your heart, There is a saying " GOD HELP THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES " there is no question about that, but does GOD really meant only work? because others understand that if you dont work you cannot have anything in this world including food , shelter and clothes , roof over your head havent you noticed that all of these are basic needs in life, material things. W e GODS people have a purpose on earth, everyone of us has a job to do for him not for us not for anyone but for him only, but sad to say that when knowlegde is granted we tend to forget who we really are and just let oursleves be blinded with worldly occupation and worldly desires. And we forget to humble ourlselves to God and we foroget the most important deed that pleases God , and that is your love to help other people your willingness to give without conditons , without expecting any returns, without demands for that person to do this and do that and then I will extend my help....... this is not what GOD us want in our heart. which is important? the brain or the heart ? when the brain stops and the hearts still beats , that person still live, has hope but when the heart stop , then its time for him to face God. So FAITH resides in our heart, so heart is much more important than the brain.
God wanted us to need him, to call on him , to put all our trust in him, God wants us to seek his compassion , to depend on him all the time . GOD has given us everything that we have in this world. He provide in nature food ready to eat, medicine ready for picking and and a land ready for dwelling, sea with food in it , there are so many , But faith in my opinion is a free well to keep and to hold and you will only have full faith in God if you love God.... because faith and trust go hand in hand. Trust not yourself too much but trust in GOD all the time for he is the almighty and the most glorious GOD and thru his son JESUS CHRIST and the HOLY GHOST , nothing is impossible.
Do you know that worries offend and insult God ?, I too worry but im thankful that im always reminded at the end of each worries and i realized that I worry over simple things basic ones, food shelter, sickness, roof over my head i worry too much in a day, but im thankful that even when I backslide when I tend to forget that worries is without faith and it offend God so much , I asked his forgiveness for this weakness of heart and even if others think that we rely too much to God when we say " WE HAVE FAITH IN GOD " "WE TRUST IN GOD THAT HE WILL PROVIDE " in my own dialect "BAHALA NA LANG SI LORD " though how simple and ordinary this words may seem to other people , on the other hand this words are so powerful and so for others they think we are lazy and we rely too much on God All I can say is that dont rely too much in your knowlege , in what you can do because you have a career because your smart and intillegent, these are from god too and he can take it away in a blink of an eye.
I can say MY FAMILY IS LIVING BY FAITH because right now all we can do is just have FAITH and TRUST GOD above all, we pray and for our specific needs each day. we also have work but day to day we rely more not from our work but from gods mercy and grace . We are living by our faith in our day to day basic needs, we dont have savings , we dont have security when it comes to our jobs, we dont have health insurance, why should I asked for more when GOD knows what I need and GOD knows the right and perfect time. I pray TO GOD that he will make my FAITH and the FAITH OF MY FAMILY STRONGER DAY BY DAY , For the people who have extended their kindness and help to my family and baring with us I thank you deeply and dearly . know that we are not depending on what you can give but we are happy and grateful to GOD for using all of you as instrument and I praised GOD for his love to my family . And I thank GOD for using all of you to send his mercy upon my family I am a living withness of GODS Love and mercy through FAITH . And GOD has shower us with graces, blessings of all kinds Praised God . Glory to GOD , GLORY TO CHRIST JESUS, AND THE HOLY GHOST, ........Peace to all of you may the words I shared bring something for you to think about. Miracles still are always here all we need is to look around and we see them everyday.
