Faith is a Spiritual Force…

"We can laugh at those who think spirituality the way of weakness.

Paradoxically, it is the way of strength.

The verdict of the ages is that faith means courage.

All men of faith have courage. They trust their God.

We never apologize for God.

Instead we let Him demonstrate, through us, what He can do."

Alcoholics Anonymous p.68

*****************

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen."

Hebrews 11:1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Living the basics of trusting and relying upon God means we trust our infinite God rather than our finite selves. We now live by faith with the trusting reliance upon things that are not known and thing that are unseen. Faith causes you to know in your heart before you see with your eyes. It is improtant to know that all men and women of faith live by courage. If you think about it… it takes a lot of courage to belive in something you can’t see!

Courage, and for that matter, faith are actions. Rather than being passive, faith is an action of trust and reliance upon God. Faith causes change and it seeks a greater understanding of God. Faith is a spiritual substance. When you have this spiritual substance in you, it communicates to you a certain inner knowing that the thing you are hoping for is certainly established, even before you see any material evidence that it has happened.

Faith is spirituality in action.

 Faith in God must come from the heart.

It is not merely intellectual.

Faith is a spiritual force.

So, may the force by with you! - Anne
