So, I do the unthinkable everyday of my life, I put my faith in human beings and actually have the audacity to get mad when they disappoint me. I mean come on self, get over it.
It never fails that I put someone on a pedastal and then when they fall, I get angry. It was my own fault to begin with, I did it to myself.
In the Bible, it states the following about our faith:
Matthew 17:14-20 (New American Standard Bible)
20 And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
20 And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
It goes on to say in Acts 3:16:
16By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see.
16By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see.
I have so little faith. I need more. We all do. Please pray for me to discern when I am being a fool and when I am in the right.
Time and time again I find myself sliding like this song says and I am drowning...but I always get back up, with HIM beside me:
Casting Crowns: East to West
Here I am Lord, and I'm drowning in your sea of forgetfulness
the chains of yesterday surround me, I yearn for peace and rest
I dont want to end up where you found me and it echoes in my mind,keeps me awake tonight
I know you cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
and I stand before you now,
as if I've never sinned
but today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
from you leaving me this way
and Jesus can you show me just how far the east is from the west
and Jesus can you show me just how far the east is from the west
cause I can't bear to see the man I've been rising up in me again
in the arms of your mercy I find rest,cause you know just how far the East is from the West from one scarred hand to the other.
I start the day the war begins
endless reminding of my sin
time and time again your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in
today I feel like I'm just one mistake away,from you leaving me this way and Jesus can you show me, just how far the East is from the West
I know you've washed me white,turned my darkness into light I need your peace to get me through,to get me through this night can't live by what I feel but by the Truth your Word reveals,I'm not holding on to you but you're holding on to me,you're holding on to me
Jesus you know just how far the East is from the WestI don't have to see the man I've been, rising up in me again in the arms of your mercy I find rest'cause you know just how far the East is from the West, just how far,from one scarred hand to the other.
Jesus you know just how far the East is from the WestI don't have to see the man I've been, rising up in me again in the arms of your mercy I find rest'cause you know just how far the East is from the West, just how far,from one scarred hand to the other.
That is such an awesome song, the words just hit me square in the face.
Here is the link if you need to hear it performed to take the full effect.
I struggle to overcome my ignorant self.
