Living With Chronic Pain – Spiritual Healing – Faith & Change
Let me save you some time about how to have faith when making changes. Here’s what typically happens. When people discover faith for the first time, they’re super enthused about really changing for the better, no matter the sacrifice involved. And then as time passes, commonly, the results of making these purposed changes happens very slowly and minimally, and then when discouragement sets it, well…we know the final outcome. Most people abruptly give up on the process altogether.
Nonetheless, when things get even worse, people somehow navigate towards what they believe as truth and begin the process about making positive change all over again. This pattern of starting over by having faith in change, then giving up when the results are not quickly obtained repeats itself until hopelessness eventually prevails.
This vicious cycle is clearly seen when referring to those who live in chronic pain or for those who struggle with being overweight.
Many confuse this failure to succeed in making changes as a direct result of not having enough faith, which brings me to the point regarding this blog.
Simply, we’re not asked to have faith in the ability to change for the better. And secondly, we can’t define or specify how faith works itself out completely. Or if we could, this is certainly not faith.
Faith is peculiar, meaning it comes from one source. And when we place our faith in God, we’re inwardly believing what God says to us is absolutely true. His ways are far greater than ours; causing us to relinquish our brokenness to Him so that He can ultimately change us from the inside out.
In summary, when we put our faith in God, He’ll help us to make the right changes for the better, as opposed to us trying to determine the exact changes to make, and then calling this faith. We really don’t have faith in others or in money or in opportunities or in anything else. Again, this is not faith when we count on something other than our one true source.
Here’s what faith is. Faith comes from receiving the testimony of God through Jesus Christ. Let this truth sink deeply into your being to understand real faith and its miracle-producing change available for you…
