Full of Faith

OK, so, I had kind of a "duh" moment today. I was driving around town while running errands. While driving, I thought about the Grow Barefoot focus this month - Faithful. I post a verse and thought every day on Facebook and Twitter  focusing on being faithful to God and to our kingdom work.

Faithful. Faith - ful. Faith full. Full of faith. If someone asked me what the word faithful meant, I would answer something like, "Loyal, committed, you stick it out to the end." That's a valid definition. However, the word's history shows it was originally used of someone who was full of faith. This idea of faithful being "full of faith" made me start thinking.

I will stick it out to the end because...
I will commit to the call of kingdom work because...

because I am full of faith.

I am full of faith that the Spirit will penetrate a loved one's unrepentant heart and transform their life.

I am full of faith that God will work in a situation that seems beyond repair.

I am full of faith that He will meet every need I have.

I am full of faith that Christ will return and establish a kingdom of peace and justice right here on planet Earth.

I am full of faith that after that time of Christ's reign, He will allow me to live in Heaven with Him for eternity.

I am full of faith that His blood was sufficient to cover all the nastiness of my sin.

I am full of faith that His Word is absolute truth.

And since I am full of faith in these and so many things - I will stay loyal, I will stay committed, I will persevere to the end.
