your faith begins to soar

and true, there are times when your faith is tested

when the state trooper comes to your door and tells you your son was killed in an accident

when the doctor tells you that you have cancer

when you are in a fog of depression and despair, but you know God is real, because he has proved himself to you, and you keep putting one foot in front of the other by faith

when your friend's child dies and you are the only one who can speak words to comfort her

when another friend has cancer and you can say, I'm a survivor, and you can be too

I know that my redeemer lives and I will stand with on that day.
I don't want you to walk away from all that. If it works for you, that's wonderful. I just wish folks would stop telling others that it will work for them, too, if they put enough effort into it.

It is not effort. It is faith.

Uh huh. And where does your faith come from? Not your own effort, of course. It comes from God. The author and finisher.

God gave everyone faith. We just have to decide to use it or not.
