Faith Matters

Faith matters.  A belief in God is more important than the place where you worship Him or the way in which you worship Him.  You need to worship Him.  You need to thank Him for your life.  You need to thank Him for the gifts He gives you.  You need to hit your knees, or lay in your bed, or stand in your kitchen and thank Him.  Prayer doesn't have a specific place in which it happens nor a time a day that God is open for business.  You need to thank Him so you don't spend all the time apologizing to Him when you turn to Him during a time you need Him to help you.  It will come.  You will need Him.  Know him before that time.  Thank him before that time.


When you become caught up in the specifics, you only open yourself to losing the big picture. If you don't like the church where you worship God, then change the church!  Don't allow it to change your ability to worship Him.  Don't allow it to change your ability to recognize Him and the blessings He gives your life.  Sure you can ignore Him and find a reason to justify it. You can choose not to listen.  You can choose to run the other way but I know you.  I know your heart.  I see you.  You live your life by God's rules.  Your moral compass is His.


Have faith.  Faith matters and I can only ask that you remember, "Excuses only satisfy the people that make them." Don't ever find an excuse that makes you lose faith.  I have faith in God and my son...., I have faith in you.
