When you have faith
For we walk by faith, not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7)
Faith is not a complex matter. There are complex situations, but faith itself is built on simple principles. Faith is trusting—knowing that I Am, that I love you and want to help you, believing that My promises are for you personally. […]
Faith may be tempted to waver, and it may have thoughts of doing so, for you are not perfect. But in the end, faith stands, for it believes in Me and is persuaded that I am able to do what I have promised. Faith is convinced that I am able to do exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think. Faith knows that there is nothing too hard for Me, and that with Me‚ all things are possible.
When you have faith, your heart is fixed, trusting in Me, and you are empowered to not be moved by bad news or evil tidings. You do not cast away your confidence‚ your faith, nor do you waver, like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed. You know that I will come through for you and I will help you to overcome, no matter what the circumstances. That is faith, which greatly pleases Me, for this is the era of faith—of trusting and believing and knowing that I reward your faith. —Jesus [1]
In fact, the word “‘obey’ comes from Latin, and means to listen, to hear others. Obeying God is listening to God, having an open heart to follow the path that God points out to us. Obedience to God is listening to God and it sets us free”. —Pope Francis
