Hebrews 10:37-39 New International Version (NIV) 37 For, “In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay. 38 And, “But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back. 39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved. I guess I am born with strong personality and when I see myself as fearless I can be. I can still see a dot of fear somewhere down within me. I am strong in a way that I don't let people put me down or I wont let myself be engaged in something that can wreck my persona. I grew up protecting myself over pain and humiliation. I live a very careful but carefree life. I love to be intact, just and simple but brave enough to take every challenge that comes my way; but at the end of the day it was all fake courage. Only God can make me be that bold and confident; but even when I know and confident that God is with me I would still see myself coated with fear in some ways. I learned that a little fear is healthy because that is the moment I will be certain that I wont win this without God and out of that fear I will start to hand it all over to God. That fear will eventually became faith, faith that no matter I don't see what is coming and I am not certain what will happen I will still go on believing that my God will never forsake me. That is the kind of faith I would want me and you to always have. A faith like "potatoes", it is tangible, you can feel it, you can smell it; but when it is still buried in the ground you could not even see it. You will not even be certain if you will have something to harvest on the given day, but somehow as farmer, deep inside you. You know there is something deep within there just waiting to be harvest. It just saddened me that most of us when we could not see anything, when things around us is completely the other way around, when we are clouded with pain. We forget He will always fight the fight for us and that He will never leave us nor forsake us. (Deuteronomy 31:6) Yesterday was a battle, but God will always win it for you and me. Have faith that there is always something to look forward. You might not see it today but you will never know it will just come on the perfect Gods' time. Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." |
