That’s a probably not such a great title but bear with me. 😑
So, we know what faith is, right.
Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
And we know from Whom faith stems, right.
Hebrews 12:2, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy that was set out before Him He endured the cross, scorning it’s shame, and sat down at the right hand of God.
But did we know that our walk with faith in Jesus, is different, person to person.
What I mean is this; recently, I have been having a back and forth with God (I was thinking) but really it was just me not hearing what He was actually telling me.🫤
As my day begun, Holy Spirit whispered these words on my heart, “What ridiculous faith means to me, may mean something different to another person.”
I thought about this line for a while and I remembered how we got here. I’ve been asking my Jesus why it is that I can’t seem to have the faith my fiancé has. He has this most amazing ridiculous kind of faith. I have really not met a man like him before, never another person like him, actually. The Lord has blessed me to experience this with him.😌
Anyway, so that was my wonder and question to Jesus. Like, for as long it’s been I’ve been raising my kid on my own, so that just means for this context that I gotta make sure there’s enough for now and tomorrow. I gotta plan things ahead without trying to be a complete control freak (I’m learning lessons and trusting my Jehovah with the details and the big plan)
I hope I’ve painted the picture just enough so you can get it. Now, my fiancé’s life is bit different, he has his own responsibilities and one of them is not a kid his raising. So that’s where we different.
FFWD ⏭ I’ve been seeking God as to why this bothers me that my fiancé can literally tell me let’s go for the weekend to Mossel Bay, and he adds let’s not worry about petrol, food and whatever else. I can’t even comprehend the idea of not being concerned about these things.
I love my Jesus, and I am in no place to question His glory and His providence okay, no place!
Yet, I’m seeking my Father about how do I have faith for this and is it even His will that I have faith for this.
This to me is like ‘hold up MOM ridiculous what am I even thinking’ type faith.
Look maybe I’m just a dramatic…🫢
The point is, we can view a homeless person’s faith as ridiculous faith because that person trusts she will get something to eat today, even if it is your sandwich you did not eat because the tomato got soggy or maybe it didn't and you just extending Christ's love.
Faith is faith.
Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and the assurance about what we do not see.
🤍Faith is from Jesus.
❤️Faith belongs to Jesus and He graces us with it.
🤍No matter how big or small your faith is. Don’t stop having faith.
❤️Do not compare how much faith you in something with another person because it will be different.
🤍You can’t measure your faith against your brother or sister in Christ, perhaps you can but I suggest you don’t.
❤️Ask Jesus for the faith to keep on keeping on.
Dear Jesus,
May my faith always be in You. Thank you that You are the beginning and the end of my faith. Thank you Jesus, that because of You, I can have faith. Please oh Lord Jesus, increase my faith where I am lacking. Help me to have ridiculous faith and fervour for the things of my Father. Thank you mighty Jesus.
In Jesus name, amen.
If all you can do is have faith, that He will see you through, then so be it.
If all you can do is have faith, that He is in control, then so be it.
Must read;
📌Hebrews 12
📌Matthew 6
Stay fixed on Him, friend.
Jesus does love you.
