Faith is Holding on....


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  Hebrews 11:1

I have heard that scripture for as long as I can remember, but God showed me something a little different the other day. 

I love it when God shows me things. It is very humbling to hear from God.
When you think of Faith, you think of that very scripture.

 God showed me that faith is a necessary attribute and discipline in our life. I can remember getting saved when I was younger and not always walking in his way. I tried, I strived, and I stumbled. I kept my faith, and I prayed and though I wasn't always in fellowship and though I did not always hear from him (because sin separates and I was in sin). I kept my faith, he was there and He was still there when I decided to live wholly for him. God is so Good. I am thankful for his grace and mercy and for helping me even when I was not in fellowship with him.

What's so great about that? He was always there, He was changing me and molding me even when I did not realize it. When I chose to live for Him, and put Him first in my life, my life changed.

"Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."Matt 11:29

God is with you right now, wherever you are. He will help you and lift you up, He will teach you and be with you, even when it feels like you are alone. He is with you, he loves you and he is calling to you.

Whatever you may be going through, remember to hold on tight to Him, he will bring you through.

So hold on 
and hold tight,
 Don't give up 
with all your might, 
times may be hard, 
things might get tough
 but God is there, 
just look up
