Precious Faith[fulness].

Faith is a precious thing. Something that seems like it comes and goes, but the truth is, it is always with you. I am not talking about Faith, like which belief belongs to you [Christian, Mennonite, Baptiste, Non-denominational, Jewish..etc...] I am talking about Faith in the Unknown,
Faith in things you Cannot see,
 Faith is something BIGGER!...
And Faith in the little things,
the things that feel like they don't matter to others, but they do to you. Some days you just need Faith to get through the day, to believe that You alone, are not strong enough, but God is.
Faith is a beautiful thing that turns into Trust.
And trust, turns into friendship,
And Friendship, into anything imaginable.
This world needs more people becoming friends instead of enemies...but that's a completely different subject. I mostly want to touch on what its like to feel like your going under, going down, hitting rock bottom, and feeling like you cant get picked up again, little do some people realize when your Not strong enough to stand back up,  God is there to grab your hand and help you through the rest, just that tiny bit of Faith takes you galaxies beyond your wildest dreams. And its so hard to believe there's a God, simply because you cannot see him, and so many times it feels like he is not there, but that's just your Faith wavering, not God. Because Truth be told, God is. He is the I AM. He is always there, but having enough faith can be a struggle.
As many [or few, since I don't have a lot of readers] know, my Faith has waivered more than once. But God never did, Its like this...
Abused as a child, a young girl grew up, thinking that in life, there is no such thing as a "Safe Home". Being physically, verbally and emotionally abused by her mother, the girl began to believe, that all Mom's were bad, all homes were bad, there was no good one, and if there was, she would never find it. The sad girl needed faith, and had faith, on the good days, but when it started to get badder and worse, her faith waviered, when her mom started punching her, biting, slapping, bashing, badmouthing, and completely beating her up, she felt like God had left her, but the truth is, he was there, I mean, she's still alive, isn't she? God was there to protect her from dying, But what the girl had not seen was what Could have Been, instead, she saw what was. Brutally hurt inside and out, she felt like God had let that happen to her...but in all reality, the spiritual realm that we cannot see, was going on, a battle between Good and Evil was taking place, and Good prevailed, because God allowed her to stay alive, and bring Glory all through that.

Just like the child, when bad things happen to us, we loose faith, but just think. God is God, he could have allowed anything to happen to you, but he protected you form the worst.

My Friend Ticket once told me, God will never give you more than you can handle. And that is So much Truth packed into one tiny Phrase.

So next time someone throws a stone at you, ad breaks your bone, Remember, God is holding back the Avalanche.

Dear God; Thank you that we can have Faith in you and believe even when Push comes to shove. Please Bless all who read this, and show them your unfailing Love and Faithfulness.
Your Broken Child,
Safe Promises.
