Yeaah!! That’s right! That’s the kind of Faith that we need today! …The faith that will not compromise for a lesser gift from GOD. Faith that will not FAIL! That will never give up!
Well, I was talking with my friend as I was just climbing some stairs. And I realized that as I was climbing them they were so similar to this race of Faith!
If I say, “No, I’m just too tired of climbing these stairs.” And I go back!
Then what have I gained??
Ans. Nothing. In fact, I have even lost the time and effort to get so far.
And so, it is an experience worth very less. One that is not good enough to be counted as a ‘learning’ experience.
But if I go all the way??
Ans. I have gained everything I had hoped for. And I have learnt enough to crack the next similar challenge when it comes. (If I pray for healing and it happens. Then I will definitely believe for similar miracles to happen the next time.)
But… If I ‘chose’ not to go the whole way, not believe all the way?
Then I don’t reach my destination (top of the staircaseJ). I do not get my miracle from GOD. I have wasted all my efforts reaching so far. And plus I have to come down the stairs again! And backtrack, and think why is GOD unfair? Why did I not get my miracle? Why me? why? why? why!!
… And what I’m really doing then is ‘whining’ and wasting some more of life’s precious time over something I do not need to waste.
Ya know?? Because I have not gone all the way, I don’t have all the knowledge I need to crack the next similar challenge, so when an opportunity comes to me to pray for healing all I do is go around the same small mountain again, instead of going ahead!
So…. The bottom-line is: Are you believing God for something? Then believe all the way, don’t doubt, don’t stop, don’t look at others. Don’t compromise for a lesser thing and don’t go back, fight the good fight of faith and overcome the stupid little doubts that come to take away your hopes and dreams. Come on!! God cannot and will not let you down. HE is GOD!! Would He want a child of HIS to lose faith in HIM?? No way!!!
So believe.
But if it’s not HIS will, then HE’S got something better.
