Walking in Faith

Walking in faith is a challenge for fools and the brave. There are
those who can see beyond sight, but we cannot trust those who seem
fixed on their egos and lusts. That is what they become — they are
self-centered czars of their followers' oft' shattered dreams.
Walking in faith with Our Lord Jesus Christ is for those who can
let go of pride and find peace in submitting their will, and who
seek to please only the One who redeems. There are those who can
do this and walk not by sight, — but by faith and love too.
Walk not by sight but by faith we are told. We can hear and see
miles of temptation to lure us to logic and safety. So
much of our life is distorted by shortsighted values. We
need to believe that there's Someone in charge here below.
Walking in faith is for those who are foolish enough to be
trusting in God and in that which they cannot see. Then they find
that which is holy released in their humbleness, setting free
power and clearing the ears and the eyes of the blind.
Walking in faith is the excellent choice for the people who
suffer rejection and failure and loss. It is not for the
people who live perfect lives, for insensitive ones, those who
think they’re in charge. It's for those whom the cross has set free.
