Walk of Faith

          Many people get the wrong idea about the Christian life.  In our excitement about Jesus, we expect never to deal with our same old habits, problems, or temptations.  Often, more mature Christians advance this notion, hiding their own personal struggles and dilemmas.  Many believe they should live a flawless life.

How often do we say, "Oh, I just can't get it right! Am I really saved at all? Don't you hate me by now God?"  The truth of God's grace throughout life is one that is difficult for humans to understand because we naturally rely on our works.  We must understand that the walk of faith is just that--a walk.  It is a progressive journey with Jesus as our guide.

         Late singer/songwriter Rich Mullins says it best in one of his songs:   And on this road to righteousness

            Sometimes the climb can be so steep
            I may falter in my steps
            But never beyond Your reach...
            I will seek You in the morning
           And I will learn to walk in Your ways
           And step-by-step You lead me
           And I will follow You all of my days.

                                                                                                                                  God Bless,
