Faith

We put our faith and trust in what we cannot see, and hope that in tough times the two will get us through anything. As we grow in our relationship with God our faith grows, but I feel that our faith gets tested more and more as we grow in our relationship. When we draw closer to God our faith really gets tested just to see how much we will trust Him and lean on Him for help. In the bible it tells us that if we have faith as small as a mustard seed that we can say to a mountain "move from here to there and it would move". Nothing would be impossible (Matthew 17:20 NLT). It also says that we are not to be afraid but to have faith (Mark 5:36 NLT). A new Christian's faith is very strong and thinks that nothing can happen to them, but then something happens to test their faith and they start questioning a lot of things. I believe it to be true to any Christian young or old. Something bad happens to us we start questioning "if our faith was stronger this wouldn't of happen" or "is God really with me through everything that happens??" This year we have had a lot of kids being baptized at church and how their faith is so strong and knowing that God is on their side to help them get through tough times. Having faith in the unseen is hard but having faith in nothing is even harder especially when tough times come and you need someone to help you get through it who will you turn to?? God knows all and will help us through all. Have faith in God and have faith in what He says and does bc He is always faithful.
