Use Your Faith!
Do you ever wish you had more faith? I have good news for you. Your faith is beautiful. It is a gift from God. You don’t need more faith. What? That’s what Jesus said.
The apostles came up and said to the Master, “Give us more faith.” But the Master said, “You don’t need more faith. There is no ‘more’ or ‘less’ in faith. If you have a bare kernel of faith, say the size of a poppy seed, you could say to this sycamore tree, ‘Go jump in the lake,’ and it would do it. (Luke 17:5-6, MSG)
Faith is a gift from God.
There’s no ‘more’ or ‘less’ in faith.
Faith is faith.
What we need to do is to use our faith.
Believe, pray, trust.
Put it in practice.
What we need to do is to take care of our faith.
Nourish, water, tend.
Grow in grace.
What we need to do is to live out our faith.
Share, embrace, celebrate.
Live in grace.
Gracious God,
Thank you for the gift of faith!
Thank you that you’ve prepared everything for us.
Show us how to embrace faith for real.
Enable us to believe without hesitation.
Help us to take care of our faith.
Empower us to practice our faith
and live it out loud.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen

Such an interesting idea…growing the faith we have vs. asking for more. I think I grow in my faith by saying “yes” to God and walking through the hard places instead of running from them.
Yes! That’s what putting our faith in practice is all about! Thanks for sharing, Andrea! Blessings to you!
So true! What a seemingly obvious point. Profound, subtle and true! Thank you. Sharing on my FB page!

Rich insights for me today. Isn’t it just like the enemy to tempt us into thinking our faith is insufficient. I love the beautiful faith God has given me. Thanks for the good word.
Thank you, Gail, for sharing. You truly have a beautiful faith! May God continue to bless you and empower you!
