This week has been all about Faith, in sooo many ways! I began reading the New Testament, and the beautiful simplicity of Faith is on every page. Jesus Christ heals and performs miracles based on the Faith of those around him: "Ask and we shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you." Though the concept of Faith is simple, the application of it is quite harder. In order to help myself better understand how to exercise my Faith, I came up with a thing I call the Faith Cycle. First step, is of course faith, which leads to hope to keep moving forward, then that hope leads to love, love leads to obedience, because we follow God's commandments out of love for him, then obedience is what builds faith, and you begin the cycle all over again! While traveling through this Faith Cycle however, we must exhibit confidence in the Lord, optimism, enthusiasm, and patient perseverance.
A way and path for us has already been prepared by our Savior Jesus Christ. We are able to have the assurance that this life has purpose, that we each have a plan. All that is required of us, is effort, a sacrifice of our own will, and courage to face anything. This takes time and a whole lot of work and complete reliance upon Christ and his Atonement, but to become who Heavenly Father wants us to be is our purpose here on this earth, and we can do it!!:)
