Faith Isn't Easy

"Just because what's going on in your life right now doesn't feel good, doesn't mean God's not working." Joyce Meyer

 Faith isn't easy. That is the truth, and when we agreed to faith, no one told us that everything would go perfectly, that there would be no bumps in the road or obstacles to face. No. But faith, faith isn't something that we sign up for and all of our problems go away. But rather, faith is the thing that, during these situations, in the midst all of these bumps and obstacles, that keeps us strong.
 You see, God called us to walk closer with Him in our journey of faith, not so our life could be completely 100% perfect, but so He can show us that He is completely 100% perfect. So that He can guide us through the more difficult times.
 Maybe today, you are stuck in a place where God is calling you to do something. He is pulling you in a certain direction and calling you to follow Him, and maybe you are following what He is saying. But, during any journey, any journey at all that God has called us to, there are going to be trials and tests along the way. Tests that God gives to make sure that we really want what we are working towards. Tests that show God that, no matter what we face, we are going to trust and follow Him. And triumphs that may test our faith, that may knock us down a time or two, but, it doesn't matter how many times we get knocked down, all that matters is that we get back up again and just keep on going. That, my friend, is truly what faith is about. Trusting God, following what He has called you to do, and knowing that He is with you and guiding you on your journey. Faith isn't easy, but it sure is worth it.
