faith

Preacherman hasn't inspired me in a while. Today was good. Inspired may be the wrong word. Spoke to me is the idea. The sermon spoke to me today. I think a good sermon should speak to you. It might not speak the same thing to each individual but it should have some relevance in your life.

So I didn't ask anyone else, "Was it good for you?" but I should have.

He has described faith in this way before, (The assurance of things hoped for the belief in things not seen) But he took it a good bit further today. Talking about the relationship between faith and risk. The greater the risk the greater the faith. I have taken some risks lately based upon things hoped for and these things have mostly not worked out. But here's the thing, I refuse to loose faith of that yet not seen. Because I know it exists. I have not seen it and it is not yet appropriate but I have faith and feel led keep this faith.

The risk is enormous. The faith is enormous. The potential reward is enormous. I will continue to hold the faith, keep focused on that not seen. Love will win one day. Love must always win.
