Faithful In Little And Much

Faithful In Little And Much “If you can’t trust me now to speak to your parents, how will you have faith in me when I become your spouse?” If we take complete control over all things in our lives how will we ever have faith or trust in another? Faith in a spouse, child, friend or stranger is necessary when we lack patience, skill or understanding. Trust is needed when teaching, coaching, schooling, and developing fruitful relationships. Faith is a must in granting someone another chance to remedy a situation. Trust and faith in God’s ability to move mountains in our lives is imperative especially when we can’t seem to move over a little mount in our paths. There are many opportunities in a day for us to begin to learn to trust each other. People need opportunities to mature and are often asking us to have faith in them. Ironically with control we may be habitually displaying hurt or distrust resulting from a past relationship or situation. Our skepticism and faithless attitudes may be masked by hardened emotions and sometimes keep us from confiding, believing and relying upon one another. So that we may enjoy the true riches of God’s plan for our lives we can start with small dedicated steps. Our exercise and acceptance of the gift of family and friends will free us to travel on our new course. This journey will call for small and great tests of faith and earned trust in the people in our lives. With time and baby steps our confidence will grow and we will be able to graduate on to bigger strides. Our progress may be witnessed in the simplicity of a child washing the dishes for the first time or the difficultly of entrusting our neighbor to care for our sick child while we attend to an urgent matter. With practicality and reasonableness we can fulfill our obligations and charitable contributions as a citizen, friend, parent, child and spouse. Over time we will experience improved self-assurance as we learn to rely on our spiritual gifts and God given human talents and intellect. With confidence, trust and faith in God and ourselves we can successfully and skillfully embrace our strengths, redirect our fears and accept our inadequacies. Inherently, we are designed with a divine sense of righteousness. Poised in this enriching and holy position we can trustingly and faithfully forfeit dominance of doubt and control and allow others to do what they can to participate, contribute and experience fulfilling human and spiritual growth. Our personal recompense will not be necessarily seen by others or material riches but rather experienced by our divine soul and touched intimately in our gift of The Holy Spirit. Life will certainly not be perfect. However, it is in life’s imperfections, mistakes and limitations that we will see God’s flawless immense blessings in our lives. We cannot serve God and each other with little faith. With faith and trust let us serve God and each other in little and much, so that we will enjoy true wealth in the riches of God’s blessings seen through trials, triumphs, tranquility and acts of human beings.
