Faith is a free gift of God

Happy those who believe and have faith; We have to find the positive direction, savior, even in trials and setbacks of life. Faith is a free gift from God. There is no limit to the faith. Doubt does not exist for those who have faith. God has placed in man’s heart the desire to know the truth, that can only be achieved by faith. The Bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God, and that the just live by faith.
Faith is related to Christian hope which never disappoints; those who have faith and believe in God and in his love are full of hope in God. People don’t say that hope springs eternal, so we have to have hope, in sickness, unemployment, prosperity, on the feast day,the sunny day, in the rain, at the birth of a child, the death of an older person. When we lose hope, despair, discouragement, imbalance, discontent and mistrust take care of us and we start walking back. Who else expect better lives.
Who nurtures faith and hope also has the courage to face all the fear. Fear and laziness are twin brothers, and enemies of courage; before any danger, the two embrace and are at the mercy of chance. We have to be bold and courageous. Jesus said, many times, to his disciples, “be not afraid”, “be not afraid, only believe.” We need courage with discretion and simplicity. Having courage is not having no fear, but do not be paralyzed in the face of fear, resist it and move forward.
