Faithless,Faithful






As I was doing bible study this morning this verse from 2 Timothy stood out.  If you are faithless, He is faithful. Think about it.... How many  people do you know will remain faithful to you when you are faithless?

What does faithless mean?
2. not trustworthy; unreliable.
3.without trust or belief.
4.being without religious faith.
 
So in other words we don't trust God, we don't believe in His Word, and we find no peace in trials in Christ. Yet, though as His children, we display this behavior towards Him, He remains faithful. 
I found myself asking; why? Why remain faithful to a people who are faithless?  
 
We often try to label God with human characteristics, but He is not human. So He is able to do more and above what we can imagine. He is what we can not be, and He does what we can not do. 
 
He is faithful when we are faithless. 
 
He loves when we dont love. 
 
He is strong when we are weak. 
 
He is wise when we are fools. 
 
As much as I would love to try to understand how such a Mighty and Holy God can remain faithful to a faithless people, remain faithful to this faithless soul, I will never truly understand in my finite mind an infinite mind. 
 
 
Thank you Lord that you are Holy and Mighty and always faithful to this desperate soul. 
 
 
Angie

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Goodbye Facebook...Hello thoughts...

Well I did... I took the plunge and deactivated my facebook. It is amazing how much of a time consumer it is. It eats time like you would not believe. I am hoping, praying with this new found time, and lack of distraction that it will give me motivation to blog more. As my young men get older, move closer and closer in considering that step towards becoming one with someone.. I have come to realize there are so many resources out there pointed at men and what they need to do, or what they need to be as men to get married. The sad thing is there is hardly anything for young women. Today I challenge Paul to look at a questionaire done by Stacey and James McDonald( you can find it on Staceys  blog thesacredcalling.com)  that they put together for young suitors for their daughters. After reading it he came down so heavy hearted. Guess the realization of the spiritual, emotional and physical responsibilities of it all became very burdensome. Of course I shared how we could do noth...

Saying "I love you"...

Thinking about these words. These words that are to express our deepest emotions. These words that are to leave us vunerable and open, just do not seem to have the impact they use to. Many people use these words so fleeting. They use them as if to say "thank you", or "I thought about you today". For me "I love you" is not an easy thing to say. If I say I love you- I mean it from way down deep in my heart. They are not just words to be said but also words, that are to be put into action. Have you ever thought about that? When someone says "I love you", do they show through their actions that they love you?  or do they leave you going Huh, really? I have had those thoughts, wondering if the person who has declared their love really does love me because actions speak louder than words to me. I hear their words but then on the other hand see their actions and  they do not act like a person who even cares about my well being. Jesus never states in the...
