How's Your Faith?

Good Morning! Heb 11:39 These were all commended for their faith,yet none of them received what had been promised. (meaning Jesus) If you read Chapter 11 of Hebrews you will see all the men and women who were commended for their Faith.. Albert Einstein wrote in a letter to his son, Eduard "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving." This wise counsel can apply to the Christian life. Many of us through faith keep on moving through life's painful and trying experiences. just like all the people in Chap 11. But I want to share something that hinders many Christians in their walk. And keeps them from moving forward in life. And that is having Faith in God's Forgiveness.If you look at all the people who are getting praise for their faith in that Chap, it doesn't tell you all the sins they committed. But yet they were commended!  I'll just give one example, David! He committed adultery, murder and deception. But because of His Faith was forgiven and God commended as saying his heart was like Gods.So many of us stifle our walk because we commit a sin and we think God can't forgive us. I know! In 2003 after being sober for 2 1/2 yrs I went back to drinking and drugging. I thought that was it, I had turned my back on God. And He was going to do the same to me. I had turned my back on God,and in turn He would turn His on me. So today I am asking you have you lost your spiritual balance through a sinful choice, which is keeping you down? Repent and turn to God,as so many have done before us. Have Faith in His forgiveness and the saving blood of Jesus Christ.Our God is a God of second chances and third and on and on. Jesus told Peter you must forgive 7times 777 times. So it is that same forgiveness God has with us. So have Faith in it. It is the balance we all need to keep moving forward! HABD!
