The Nature of Faith


I took a spiritual gifts inventory yesterday and for the first time in my life faith came out as my highest gift. I always have the same three – pastor, teacher and faith – usually in that order. This time they were reversed.

It's interesting.

As I messed around with the camera and Photoshop, trying to make a visual representation of faith, I looked at the crummy photo I was ruining and something in it spoke to me about the nature of faith. Forget the past – it's a blurry mess. Don't worry too much about the future – there's not all that much to see. Just focus intently on today and trust that, as we used to be fond of saying, "God is good?"

All the time.

You know, whenever I use that call and response, it's a time when I mean it MOST fervently. Every time, it nearly makes me cry with missing you, and remembering when we first met.
