Decaf faith

Faith(dictionary)-Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing.

Faith(Hebrews 11:1)-^1-2The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It's our handle on what we can't see.

I have been stuck on FAITH for quite awhile now and am pondering what FAITH truly is. Working with a lot of atheist i see how confused the secular world really is. In a country where our money says "In God we Trust" but people are harassed and even killed for believing in our only absolute Truth. Countless times i have heard the word FAITH come out of a non-believers mouth stating a trust in things not known or seen in a truth not tested and tried. That kinda seems to be the re-occurring argument with God that "why would i have FAITH in something that is not known or seen. "

Beginning over a year ago i wandered into this life called "CHRISTIANITY", not really knowing what i was getting into but knowing that i needed to find purpose...Isn't that what anybody really wants in life? Purpose? It took a simple mindset to find out my true purpose...a Child-like mindset if you would. (Math. 11^:25 At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike.) People try so hard to learn everything and educate themselves by the ways of the world, but the truth is your not gonna find the truth and any textbook. I'm not saying you cant be educated, please be educated, go to college and further yourselves. I am saying don't go trying to find purpose and absolute truth in textbooks and college professors.

So what does this all come down to? FAITH-defined only by biblical truth. So many people claim to have FAITH, but what they have is a false hope in what might be. FAITH is TRUST in God that no matter what, he is our provider and will take care of any need. (Math:^25-26"If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don't fuss about what's on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds.)

Have you ever wondered what "TRUTH" is? Maybe you need to find out what "FAITH" is! To find out what your real purpose in life is its gonna take some FAITH, a childlike faith. You give FAITH a month, and you will wake up transformed a year later, and realize that you didn't wander into this life...YOU WERE CALLED!!! I didn't wander into this life...I WAS CALLED!!!
