Think on these things: Whatsoever is true, just, lovely, of good report, edifying and kind


I found this thought i wrote three years back and thought it was befitting for now. Its a message about faith and its importance in our lives and relationships. So often we take it for granted and eventually loose it. I hope that in reading this you will regain what was lost and maintain it once more.- Jaylori
{Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. By faith Noah built the ark. By faith Sara conceived a child in her old age. Without faith, it is impossible to please God.} ..These things we know are true, so by faith is how we must live. Living by faith and not by what we see (circumstances of life). The relationships that we have toward one another are relationships of faith. We must understand that in order for the relationships to succeed, both parties must have faith and confidence in oneself and the relationship as a whole, and not to allow what you see naturally to supersede what God sees in the supernatural. Calling those things that be not as though they were is an extremely big part in building your faith.( Things such as beauty, strength, confidence, faith, trust and love.)
Our confessions daily should be that we have full peace in our lives and in our relationships. (There is nothing we miss, nothing we are lacking, nothing we want because as we know that anything missing, lacking, broken, wanted or needed leads to the disturbance of your inner peace.)
Faith is special and unique, and extremely powerful. In the use of faith we must not continue to see each other as we are but to see each other through the eyes of God- We also must know how to go to God about each other in a situation of crisis to offset strife. By looking at each other in the natural (flesh) we allow corruption.
Walking by faith is not an easy task, in fact is one of the hardest things you can do. It takes a lot of prayer. Walking by faith is not automatic. Its not Fate (whatever happens happens). No, you have to make a conscious decision to do it. You have to be willing to die to self(selfishness -me me me) everyday. A lot of the time what keeps us away from faith is ourselves and the cares of this world. We have to learn how to cast our cares and not our confidence,(walking by faith does take a lot of confidence in God) Trust God.
Negative thinking and talking is a breeding ground for the enemy to come and take root in our lives. we must overcome these evils with good thoughts.For example,"I overcome evil with good".
Think on these things: Whatsoever is true, just, lovely, of good report, edifying and kind. The solution to a negative is a positive and living as if you have received the positive. In doing so, you would change your life for the better and build character amongst yourself and the ones you love. So where is your faith now?
