faith is an action verb

I have a tendency to tell myself that I have “faith” in this or “faith” in that working out. And then in the same breath, share reasons why that thing may not come to fruition. Or talk myself out of believing in it because I don’t want to be let down.

Which is extremely counterintuitive.

But I’m human, and I’m working on it. I’ve been let down a lot in the past and tend to take things really hard, so this flip flop mentality has helped me to feel a false sense of protection. And keep me in my comfort zone.

And well, you know from my past newsletters that I’m done playing it safe.

Faith isn’t just an empty word I want to throw around anymore. Its an action verb. Which means, if I say I have faith in something, that means, I need to now go and put some work in to make it happen.

When we put action behind our ideas, goals, and ambitions it gives us more confidence. Therefore, strengthening our faith. And it signals to God that we’re willing to see through on the gifts he plans to bestow upon us.

Faith is a muscle. And it’s time for me to get in the gym.
