“What do you mean, ‘If I can?’” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.” The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!” Mark 9:23-24 (New Living Translation)
It is impossible to please God without faith. Yet, it is He who gives it to us. Our journey through life is made up of our choices. Our will or God’s will, selfishness or selflessness, ambition or surrender. The measure of your faith is seen through the choices you made in life.
I wrote the song “Give Me Faith” to praise God for things He has shown me that truly glorify Him and as a prayer knowing I only have faith when I surrender to His sovereignty over my life. (Psalms 8)
“Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.” (Romans 12:3 New Living Translation)
