Faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therfore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true (Alma 32:21)
I am a daughter of Heavenly Father, who loves me. I have faith in His eternal plan, which centers on Jesus Christ, my Savior
Value Experience #1:
The requirements of this experience were to express my feelings about faith and prayer in my journal but as I requested some of you to join me in this journey of Personal Progress I figured that maybe you'd like to hear what I learned, and that maybe it might do more good if I share those feelings here.
I have always loved the scripture in Matthew 17:20
A man brought his son, who was "sore vexed" to the Lord and the disciples can't heal him so they ask Jesus "why could not we cast him out?"
"And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you"
Faith is not some large grand gesture, at least not to me. Faith is just a feeling, a spark. Its our desire and our strength to act on faith that makes it so grand.
Faith is a seed. You MUST nurture it for it to grow. You can't just say that you have it and then act like you don't.
To me, faith is knowing that even though I make mistakes, there is a plan. Faith is being a little more careful with my life because I know that I should. Faith isn't just a word to me; its that feeling inside when someone puts down my religion. I can't prove that its true, but I have faith that it is.
This article really inspired me and I hope you check it out.
