The importance of Faith

Faith helps us to see beyond our everyday circumstances and connect with what God is doing. Faith invites us to be able to go beyond what we see and feel and trust that there is more. Faith helps to move through the difficult times we face not avoiding them but remembering that we are not alone in them. Faith helps us to focus on life even though our lives are not what we have expected them to be. Faith helps us to see in the moment but also beyond the moment to the wider reality of the world around us and to see that we are not the center but part of a greater whole.

Living by faith in Jesus is not about diluting oneself but being able to connect with the redeeming good of the universe that has come to us in Jesus. When we live by faith we are not focusing on ourselves but on the gift of grace, forgiveness, love, hope, and community that Jesus has given us though His life, death, and resurrection. May we have the strength to live by faith and not by fear.
