      Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, Andrea.

      And that’s a precious kindness of God — that He consistently gives you strong faith in Christ.

      What a gracious Savior!

      Hi Hamlen,

      Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. And I agree, faith in Christ is the means by which we receive all that we need. Isn’t it beautiful how God has set up the Christian life!

      In Christ,

      Steve Fuller

    With faith nothing is impossible so we must have faith in everything that we do.

    One of my favorite verse in the bible is : Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. – Hebrews : 11:1. I have at all times, especially in the most toughest times of trail, kept my faith in GOD Almighty because I know when I have “FAITH” in him and his power he ( GOD ) is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us- Ephesians 3 : 20 . What an awesome GOD we serve. I just love the word FAITH and to my faith means LIFE and Life ever after in CHRIST. Amen.

        Dear Steve,

        Thank you for your kind words : Yet another verse which caught my attention this morning :

        2 Corinthians 8:7

        But as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you—see that you excel in this act of grace also.

        As we strive for excellence and learn how to excel at work we should not forget to do it with God in our heart. God should be in everything that we do. People today seek for fame and power without God in their heart which is why they end up in peril. But even though you seek for wealth, but as long as God is rooted in your heart, you would not fail. To be excellent in something could be easy if you are eager to it. Even though God is not in your heart, it would still be possible to excel, but it will not lead you to eternal happiness. True success and happiness comes when you do everything with grace.

        AMEN.
