"Keeping the Faith"
I will often times hear some people complaining about the fact that I do not or have not done something in particular for them. Those who usually think or feel this way are those who are short on faith and/or patience in the first place. All too often in this world, there are those who claim to have faith in The Lord JESUS CHRIST and/or Me, but yet their so-called faith is not very strong at all when it comes right down to it. It is a faith that is quickly plucked away or a faith that is weakened by whatever pressures are in their life at the time. Peter, for instance, was just fine when he stepped out of the boat to walk on the water to The Lord JESUS at first, but he began to sink when he looked around and actually saw the storm and the waves crashing around him, and so it is with many of the people today. Too much looking around at the circumstances and the problems one is facing tends to overcome whatever faith they have with fear. There is also a matter of a lack of patience being the culprit because seldom am I ever in a rush to do anything, because I am The One Who controls time.
So therefore child of Mine in CHRIST, take a little time to think about where, or rather in Whom your faith really stands or lies. Are you one who is always complaining about what I will not or have not done for you? Now, before placing all of the blame on Me, I would like for you to take a real good look at what your part has been in this whole ordeal. Have you been one to look around at the storm that is raging around you and allowing your faith to waver because of the storms you see? Or have you been one who was expecting things to occur on your time schedule instead of just trusting Me to do things in My time and in My own way? Know this, My children, I have indeed promised to never leave nor forsake you, so I will never let those of you who are of faith down. Trust Me even in the darkest and the roughest of times, and blessed you will be if you do, in and through JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.
AMEN
