Hope, Faith, and the Beauty of God's Love!

Hope is a powerful driving force that intrigues and sparks the fire with in ones mind, causing us to want to explore and conquer, even the fears caused by the appearance of the size of the mountains standing in our way to what we know we were made to complete, and "faith" fuels our hope, it strengthens and constant renew our very soul to keep the fire alive in our life's journey, knowing God will be there at the end with arms right open, smiling, and ready just to give us an amazing new start in our everlasting life besides Him!

True faith flowers from and through doubt. If you never questioned your beliefs, you are just a puppet dancing to somebody's strings. If God had wanted your mindless obedience, you would've been created without mind, and without free will. But you have both, so you can come to God of your own accord. Just look at the lives of saints, most of them had gone through a dark night of the soul, and that's why their faith was so strong. The path to true faith always goes through doubt. So ask those questions you've always been afraid to ask, and find the answers, and then your faith will become unshakable. Life is filled with surprises, unanswered questions, unsolved mysteries, uncontrollable events and circumstances, but even going through our worst, there are many passing through something much worst, and the only difference in how we face those moments is in how our faith and trust in God is at those moments, as even in sorrow our hearts shall smile and rejoice knowing He is there right along for this ride called life ! A reminder of how life is, filled of surprises, questions, mysteries, and uncontrollable events that we must go through to become the rock in Christ that we need to be by our complete surrender, total believe and release of our hearts to God. Faith and trust comes by getting to know someone, it is a choice God has given us if we want to know Him more

Smile, love, live and let life rise to new levels of faith, every moment in total blissful happiness regardless of current circumstances and what reality constantly deals, do not be afraid of the what ifs in life, pure laughter and complete joy can alter ones state of soul, it brings new energy and life to hearts and places who may have been dark or even dead, happiness and trust in God brings a total peaceful bliss to life! To stay strong in faith, and the right things in life it takes a constant effort, and a lot more than a fast prayer at night or in time of desperation, it takes a diligent heart searching to know all there is about God, and His ways, it take good friend support, and constant submission and humbleness as we give all we are to the one Whom made us in the first place , Gods way is a hard one to follow, and even those strongly searching it and trying to walk in it fall, now imagine those rarely seeking or even believing in Him... Some say I open my heart too much, living live as an open book, I don't sugar coat my flaws and I know I have many, that does not mean I don't realize the good in me and the love and kindness that it is very powerful in my heart, but with out a doubt that without God I would still be just another man living in regrets, sorrows, pain, and maybe not alive at this point, I have no doubt that He is keeping me here for a reason way bigger than me, and that it is because of my weakness that all will see how glorious and amazing He is!

Love is a powerful force, indestructible when in God, look around, appreciate, enjoy how your partners eyes smile looking into yours, take in the purity of the love of your kids looking up at you as the only hope they have in life, or just feel the happiness around family and friends standing in joy regardless of each ones circumstances, as they know they still got each other no matter how dark life may be, take time to see and feel this amazing love , before time takes you...
