Trouble with the “F” word.
I’m struggling with the “F” word. People keep telling me I need more of it in my life. I know that’s probably true but you can’t just make the “F” word happen. It’s something that takes time, effort and a lot of patience.
The “F” word is easy to say. Lot’s of people I know toss it about as if they truly understand what it means. Many of us learn the “F” word in church or at school but don’t really understand its true meaning or the value of truly living from the “F” word.
Right now, the “F” word is about all I have. But I can no longer litter my sentences with it, use it to make a point, or fascinate people with the “F” word to make me sound more Christian.
Faith is not something you can fake. After a while you figure out that faith follows failure, the loss of the familiar, and is one of those facts of life you can’t explain to a friend.
The “F” word, Faith, is something intimate that happens between you and God when all else fails. The “F” word, faith is what life should be based on. It’s not some word we use when we don’t know what else to say.
I’m having trouble with the “F” word because faith is so easy to say and so difficult to really understand.

After reading this I sat back in my chair and said wow. Not many of us have the guts to admit that we have problems with our Faith. Why is it so hard to hold on to? What about Faith is so hard to swallow. What about “Repentance”
