How to Describe Your Faith Possibilities

Flat Earth?

We are mentally able to believe in many things. Some commendable and some ridiculous. There still remains a society that believes the earth is flat! In 1995, a patent was given for a Fork Alarm to time one’s eating! Now there’s something we could use. How many people do we know that are superstitious? All it takes to believe some things is a faith conviction that it is possible.

More reasonable, we often believe people we know. We may or may not have had parents we believed could do just about anything, based on how much we trusted them. Growing up, we believed teachers, grandparents, siblings, friends, and our pastors. We may or may not have had a spouse we could trust, until one day we couldn’t anymore, based on their lack of integrity.

What About Faith?

Faith, therefore, is built on trust and knowledge. It isn’t something we can see or touch, but it is something that is unseen, like the wind. We can feel the wind, and so, we believe it exists. We know what it “feels like” to trust someone and so, over time, we believe in that person.   

It’s been said that “faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains.” Of course, that statement is not to be taken literal. It is just pointing out that it takes very little faith in something or someone to believe.

As single-again women, we have already “jumped over” many hurdles and stumbling blocks in our way. Our journey to a fresh start has not been easy by any means. But we found a way to grow that tiny mustard seed, and now we are watching it bloom large in our life. And we must keep on growing and thriving. So, how do we do that?

Seven Proven Descriptions of Faith Possibilities

• We are stronger than we think: we have made it this far and are in one piece.
• We have seen the worse in someone: we know that trust is built up over time.
• We have a clear purpose: we are starting to recognize unfulfilled dreams.
• We know which direction to take: going forward gets us to our destination.
• We know the risks: lack of faith in God leads to danger.
• We recognize where faith originated: just like the wind, we can believe in Jesus.
• We can know and trust God: the Bible teaches us how to do this very thing.

He Gets Us!

No matter how many times our human relationships have hurt or deceived us, our Lord Jesus knows our heartache and pain. He was distressed and rejected by his own friends and family. He was tormented and tortured by his enemies. He gets us!

He loved us enough to be willing to die for us. And this is exactly why we can, with faith, believe Him and trust in Him.. Now, He simply holds out His right hand to comfort and guide us on this fresh start journey.           

“What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.” Mark 9:23
