Beauty of Faith
As we enjoy our Saturday, let us reflect on the beauty of faith.
When Jesus talked about faith, He knew that it was among us. All we had to do is use our senses to help our unbelief to believe. Jesus teaches us how to believe and the Holy Spirit is at work within us bringing it to fruition.
There is a reason to believe that faith has a way of working and weaving its beauty into our lives.
Nature has a way of reminding us that there is a faith at work among us. It has a way of basking in that realm. Soaking up this goodness that feeds its purpose.
In order to believe, we have to have something that helps our unbelief. Something tangible that touches our 5 senses: see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. Something happens to us when our senses become part of this work of faith.
Our responses, are positive because that unknown place will become a known place and we can see it or touch it. If there is a negative response, then, there was no connection and there is still unbelief, which tends to be a product of unwillingness.
Book of St. James: 'So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead.'
Nature's inner workings are really based on what it was created to do. Our knowledge also plays a part in the workings of faith.
Roses are one of my favorite flowers. When you plant the bulb of a rose in rich soil, it has only but to grow up into a beautiful rose. This is because it was created to grow to be a rose. The beauty of the rose is that it comes in different shapes, colors, types, and sizes. It does all this, without losing its identity of being a rose. This identity gives it authenticity. Our senses our captivated by its beauty and we respond in saying 'what a beautiful rose'. It is known to be the queen of all flowers and is one of the most beautiful and popular flowers around. Hence, the rose has fulfilled it's purpose it was created for. Its Creator is then glorified!
When faith is at work among us, something positive always comes out of it. That is the beauty of faith. In essence faith is good. Let us connect our good within us to the faith that is at work among us.
Book of Hebrews 'Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and the evidence of things not seen'.
Blessings!
