Faith – Romans 1:12
|
I mean that I want us to help each other with the faith we have. Your faith will help me, and my faith will help you.
Romans 1:12 (New Century Version)
When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.
Romans 1:12 (New Living Translation)
I so want to be there to deliver God’s gift in person and watch you grow stronger right before my eyes! But don’t think I’m not expecting to get something out of this, too! You have as much to give me as I do to you.
Romans 1:12 (The Message)
This is so true, if only all people can read this and think about how easy this is and how easy it will be to live together as one nation under God.
Interesting how different people’s experiences can be. I don’t think I’ve ever personally been encouraged in faith by others – not directly. In other words, although I’ve sometimes found people inspiring, especially children, it wasn’t because they were talking to me about faith.

Amidst us stands the Dark Angel,
joyful at each victory gained against us.
A free will to choose Good or Evil,
a gift from our Loving God,
is a part of our daily struggles.
The weapons of the Dark One are many.
Darkness that covers our mind with sorrow
in our latter years,
to place us in a void of of hopelessness,
and fear.
Lost of health,
lost of loved ones,
bring doubt to our aging minds.
Are we to be snatched from His Love at our
Eleventh hour before death?
Render your darkness to God’s Love and Power.
The Lord will lift you above this Evil.
Never fear,
never give in to distrust nor hate,
in the darkness that attacks you.
The Dark One’s only reward in eternity is suffering;
while yours, will be the Light of God’s Love forever.
AMEN.
Daily and as every second passes, doubt,uncertaincy,questions are never far away.
Trust and faithfulness in the divine creator pays more dividends than any lottery.
The Dark one is everywhere, trying to prey on weak and uncertain souls.
Get thee behind me satan, for he is the master and true loving father of us all.
