Blind Faith.

Must. Write. More. :)

After peeking around my Facebook memories, I came across this gem. I happily embraced the reminder. To me, this is the meaning of true faith; believing in the unseen and not being consumed by the worries of tomorrow. It is knowing that you will be okay, and that you cannot control everything with your own hand. What are ways that you can let your guard down and learn to live and trust in the present?

Here be the post:

"Yesterday as I was running, I was thinking about blind faith. I slowed down to walk for a minute and wanted to close my eyes because I knew what was ahead of me was flat, and without obstruction. However, it did not take long for my eyes to open, as I did not "trust" the pavement ahead; even while fully knowing it was smooth sailing. What if something magically appeared, and I would trip? Maybe even get hurt? It reminded me of life and blind faith. Oftentimes, analyzing is tempting, as is wanting to always be "ready." Hence, never fully relaxing in faith. But what if we close our eyes in life, believe, and let the Lord take over? What if we stopped always having to be "ready" for an evil that never arrives? What if we walked blindly into faith, and genuinely trusted that everything will be okay? This is a hard concept, and it is an important part of my faith journey. Can you relate?"

"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." -Hebrews 11:1 ESV

Happy Tuesday.
