1/7/1998Faith is not a mood, nor a feeling. FAITH IS WILLINGNESS TO TAKE HOLD OF GODS LIVING WORD AND KEEP HOLD OF IT UNTIL IT TURNS INTO SUBSTANCE.... just as the soil must keep hold of the seed and stay true to the seed until the full-grown plant, locked in that tiny seed, has materialized. (excerpt from the booklet By Faith)__________________Reading through some past encouraging thoughts from others and came across this one. How true it is, my faith is not based on my mood, or happenings in life, or even the weather. GOD supplies all that we need to hold tight to HIM we just need to be willing!God bless maryjane
