MONDAY THOUGHT 3/17/08

Do you take your faith for granted?  I know a wonderful woman who has an innocent, simple view toward her deep faith.  She is very spiritual and very intelligent.  She was raised in and with faith.  It is a seamless part of her life. 
 
Even though she’s gotten a few two-by-fours across the bridge of the nose over the years, she doesn’t angst over God (is He or isn’t he?), avoids super-intellectual theological discussions, is very much involved in her church, and doesn’t have a doubt that God loves her.  She takes her faith for granted.  It just is.
 
My point:  Faith is a gift, granted by God.  You don’t need to earn it, work for it, or prove it.  Just ask for it, take it for granted, and enjoy it. — jri
