One of my BFs'
Nikki asked me last week if there was such a thing as blind faith...
I didn't personally know the difference and since I am always up for learning something new, I have been doing some research for the past few days...
So thank you Nikki for the challenge and below is the difference between Faith and Blind Faith...
(((Hugs))) my friend.
Faith is belief with strong conviction...
Faith is doubt-free...
Faith is positivity...
Faith is peace...
For example, when you are at lunch and you pop open your soda, you raise it to your lips and as it enters your mouth, you have "faith" that what is going to come out of that can is what the side of the can says.
If you are in a car accident, you are putting "faith" in the manufacturer that your air bag will be deployed upon impact.
If you go through the drive-thru pharmacy, you are putting "faith" in the tech to get your medications correct...
Same at the bank, the dry-cleaner, the grocery store etc...
Each and every single day we all put our "faith" in someone else's hands.
With faith you have some assurance that the things will work out as you believe them to.
Faith within Christianity is to trust in the Word of God...
The opposite of Faith is doubt and doubt will not allow anyone to completely trust in God...
Faith is not
believing God can - It is
knowing He will.
I blogged about this about a week ago - The day with the crazy radio station that would only come in when a certain song was on - To me that is a sign...
A sign I need to stop and pay attention...
The signs are there because of my Faith.
Kutless (when you have a chance, read the words on this video)
Blind faith is faith without evidence...
The definition of Blind faith is belief without true understanding, perception or discrimination...
Christianity doesn't call for blind faith...
God gives us brains for a reason and I am pretty sure it isn't for us not to use them...
I think when I started this journey, I was going in on blind faith...
I hadn't darkened the door of a Church in over 20 years and I was struggling with my Faith walk using what I had learned so long ago...
I didn't have the tools to make the journey alone...
As the time passes my blind faith turned to complete Faith...
The more I learn, the more my Faith grows, the more my Faith grows the more I believe, the more I believe, the easier it is for me to turn every aspect of my life completely over to Him...
The more I turn over to Him, the easier it is for me to "hear" Him, to "see" Him, to "feel" Him...
My signs get brighter with each one that is sent to me and it gets easier for me to stop right then and there and say "Thank You"...
I know people look for huge neon flashing lights when they are looking for a sign from God however it isn't always going to be like that...
Yes I have had signs that were absolutely huge and I have also had signs that others may not think would be a sign...
Someone adding a person to their prayer circle for me so I have one more prayer warrier out in the world praying for me and my family...
An unexpected gift from a fellow blogger friend filled with kind loving words...
A rainbow on a day when I need to just know He is right there...
I have my cardinal that comes around every few weeks...
Still when I need it the most...
This past weekend, I had 2 in the yard...
I haven't ever seen 2 together in the yard before...
A sermon from my beloved Pastor with just the right words and the perfect Bible verse to get me through the week...
A friend letting me know they thought of me this weekend...
Help from a friend in writing part of this post because I got stuck...
In my eyes every one of you is in my life for a purpose and I thank God for that each and every night.
