I want to hear a few things of what your faith in God has done for you. I want this thread to show what faith is and what it can do.

I know that God has plans for our lives that we don't always understand. I grew up in the church and had an intellectual understanding that to spend eternity with God you must accept Christ.
I didn't become a Christian till I got to college.
And it wasn't the college I applied for. It was my backup school. So my freshman year, I was depressed and then God brought this guy into my life who changed me forever. He showed me what it meant to have Christ as lord of your life. He showed me that it wasn't just about me wanting to go to heaven, but that without Christ i truly was separated from God because of my sinful nature. And the God who created all things wanted a relationship with me through his son Jesus! WOW!
I graduated last year from college and now I'm a full time missionary with Campus Crusade for Christ. I have to live my life trusting God to give me money. I literally go ask people to support my ministry financially, as CCC is a non profit organization. And I just finished raising 3,200 in MONTHLY donations. That's how big God is ya'll. Live by faith, not by sight.

I really like the last thing you said, "Live by faith, not by sight." I always try to remember this everyday I wake up. I ask God to give me the strength for whatever happens, and I believe that He can take care of it...AND HE DOES! I also remember it says in the Bible, "A man with faith the size of a mustard seed can move a mountain," and this says to me anything through faith in God is possible. If it wasn't for my faith in Jesus, I would be on the street now. Thank God He is such a loving and graceful God.

It's helping me see how isolated I am and how much I need community with other believers. Doing these message boards and Sunday school classes at church and Shma gatherings is one thing. Faith has put me in a place where I can make an impact. Even though my flesh and spirit are wanting to go home (to MD that is).

Faith in Christ has obliterated my self-esteem...and replaced it with true value! I puff up easily, but Christ and the Word are readily available to deflate my bloated self-image. Faith is life, no, faith in Christ is life. Without faith, I would never be able to rest in between attempts to justify myself and make myself good enough to earn the afterlife.
I rest in grace, I must rest in grace and grace must reflect in me....but this is RETURNING God's love NOT EARNING God's love!
So, faith has brought me rest.

So, faith has brought me rest. Same for me. Not only rest does faith in Christ bring me, but peace and comfort as well. |

Faith in God has brought me to a place where I have some of the best band of brothers a guy could ever ask for. When I think back on my life, God has put some amazing people in my life and has blessed me in so many ways. I can't help but be faithful. He's provided for me when I was in my lowest pit and he provides when I'm not. But, I have some of the best friends I have ever had in my life and I owe that all to God. It's going to be a massive party in Heaven!

God has taken a lazy,burn out,complacent,procrastinating(thanks pot!)sidelined,unfocused guy and elevated him to a father of two great kids, husband to a beautiful God fearing wife,sunday school teacher. its not me its Christ in me beacause before Him i was a good guy going to hell. now He has blessed me due to my faith in Him. "HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL BE FAITHFUL TO COMPLETE IT!". in my dark days He blessed me and i didnt even know it! i never oded got arrested beat up or robbed.THATS A MIRACLE THAT ANYONE WHOS BEEN THERE CAN ATTEST TO!He had a plan(and still does!)for me bigger than i can imagine.
sometimes you gotta go thru it to get to it! i love that refining fire- it may hurt but you come out without all that old unneeded crap on you...enough analogies HE BLESSED ME IMMENSELY! I WILL SING HIS PRAISES FOREVER!!!
