I need but call and You will answer me.

“This is the faith that will endure, and take me further and further on the road that leads to [God].” (1.4)

For the past year I have avoided using the word ‘faith’. I used to use it with less consideration and then found that I used it interchangeably with the word religion. This made me stop using it altogether.

Reflecting on this lesson has brought the sacredness of the word back for me. Faith should be more special than just being hopeful.

The lesson teaches that faith is having asked and then watching for God’s response.

Be ready … it will come!

Faith!

I noticed that in this lesson, ‘faith’ is mentioned. I don’t think that faith is spoken of much in the Course. I take notice of lessons on ‘trust in God’ as this is something I blocked in my past. (I still forget regularly to trust God.) I reflected to see if there is a difference between the meaning of faith and trust in God. There seems to be no difference that I can sense. Therefore, my definition of faith means, I trust in God in all things.

This lesson calls us to test God out, to see that He/She is true to Their promises.

“I thank You that Your promises will never fail in my experience” (2.1)

I have had experiences of God’s promise coming to pass so that my faith is strong. Recent lessons on surrender, choosing God’s way are lightening and opening me.

This Thanksgiving Day, I am grateful for my realization of the world of a Loving God.

Help. I want the certainty of surety that Your abiding Love is here with me. (Feeling it!)

Faith becomes knowing … being always in the position of God’s Love flowing through body, mind, and spirit of this one … Tricia.

Thank you.

I am loved.
