Faith is both a gift we receive and an action we take. God's Spirit gives us enough faith to reach out to a Father we cannot see.
Even though God wants us to live joyful, contented lives, He sometimes causes discontent or a feeling that something is not right because He does not want us to continue doing the same old things anymore. He wants to prod us to seek Him so He can take us to new levels.
He leads us into that process of maturity by leading us out of places where we have been comfortable in the past. Too much comfort for too long can mean that we are not growing. We cannot do the same things all the time and experience all that God has for us.
No matter how much we may enjoy where we are when God finds us, He will not let us stay there and become stagnant. He has new places to take us and new lessons to teach us. He wants us to be full of life, full of growth, and full of His purposes and plans.
Every day you should learn something new. Every day you should grow. Every day you should be a bit further along than you were the day before.
Don't be afraid to move your feet. Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase.
As we continue reaching - continue putting our trust in God as we go through life - that little gift of faith grows stronger, like a muscle consistently put to work at the gym. Give your faith a workout today by doing what you believe God wants you to do. Let God take you to the next level...I promise, the view is breathtaking!
Blessings,
Dalinda
