Faith is............

[♫Gloria I~†]

*Faith Is...... *

Faith Is......reliance on the certainty that God has a pattern for my life
when everything else seems meaningless

Faith Is......remembering I am God's priceless treasure when I feel utterly
useless

Faith Is......depending on the fact that God is love - not on my ability to
figure out why, in the midst of smashed hopes, reversal and tragedy

Faith Is......keeping on when I'm dog tired, discouraged, disillusioned,
deserted, dusty, and dry and I cast on His strength alone

Faith Is......realizing that I am useful to God, not in spite of my scars,
but because of them

Faith Is......confidence that God is acting for my highest good when He
answers "No" to my prayers

Faith Is......accepting the truth that, in spite of the wreckage and grief
I've caused, God has wiped the slate clean and delights in me!

Faith Is......recognizing that God is the Lord of time when my idea of
timing doesn't agree with his

Faith Is......not a vague hope of a happy here after but an assurance of
heaven based on my trust in Christ's death as payment for my sins

Faith Is......remembering that, though my way is as dark as night to me,
God can see and guides me unerringly

Faith Is......doing the right thing regardless of the consequences knowing
God will turn the ultimate effect to good

Faith Is......the conviction the Promiser keeps His promises.

OK .. would someone let me know if we can print these "Gloria Lists!" And, if so, how??

I must say, Gloria, that if these are your original one-liners (and the ones on your "God says, You say" list) -- God has certainly blessed you BIG TIME with not only unusual insights but the ability to say so much in such a little space!! If you can't claim authorship, -- then God is definitely leading you to reproducible material that will help a WHOLE LOT of people figure out a WHOLE LOT of life!

Thank you for your time and the effort it takes to share these wonderful posts with us!! :)

God's blessings wrapped in a big hug, Marilyn

P.S.: Do you have a specific prayer you say for effective "compact expression?" If so, could you kinda pass it along to me??? LOL - sorta kinda!! :)
