Faith, hope and love. These are the questions that we seek to answer throughout our lives. Sometimes we doubt our faith, we too often hope for foolish things and we wonder who will ever love us. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hope is a wish in your heart for good things to come.
What is faith? Do I have faith? Can I lose my faith? If I lost my faith can I get it back? These are all the questions that go through my mind when I hear of the word "faith". Even now as a Christian it's very difficult for me to have faith. Sometimes I find myself doubting my faith. I find myself wanting to doubt The Lord because I feel as if He will let me down, but he never lets me down. Its often hard for me to accept the fact that have such a relentless and never failing God. One of my friends recently asked me what gives life meaning and purpose, and I said to him "knowing that Christ died for me is all that matters." He has a plan that He wants me to be a part of and all I have to do is let Christ guide me. If I know that I'm following God's plan then I'm happy, because I know that I'm doing something with my life. Faith to me is understanding that even though I can't see God, I know 100% that He's there for me. He's there with me and He's there for me.
Sometimes we go through tough times and hope we get through it. Hope to me means no matter how hard times get I know that relying on God will get me through it. Hope gives me the courage and the strength to believe in miracles. I am waiting on a miracle to happen to my family. My father has been drinking since I was a little girl and he was never the father figure to me or my sister but I hope and have faith that he's going to change one day.
When I think about the word LOVE, the first thing that comes to my mind is marriage, friendships, and kids. Love is accepting each other for who we really are, getting to know each other, knowing someone's flaws and still loving them for who they truly are.
Somehow, these three journeys come together to make a difference in our life. In order to have faith, we must experience God's love, when we experience Gods love, it is then that we have hope. "And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." - Colossians 3:14
Love Eve❤
