Blind Faith

Webster defines Blind Faith to be: "belief without true understanding, perception, or discrimination"

Ok...So...If you believe in God...blindly...it's because you believe in Him fully but without true understanding of who or what He really is and/or does? Hmm...so...do I have Blind Faith?

Honestly...my road of Christianity has been a hard one...all caused by myself of course...but it has been very "all over the place" and at times, somewhat very hard to follow...so much that, I got off that road for a long time. But still...even though I wasn't on God's path...I never forgot, denied, doubted, that there is infact a God that loves me very much...Unfortunately, I just refused to follow it.

But if it wasn't for me falling off that road...I doubt that I would have met the people who are in my life now, that got me back on that amazing road. At the beginning? I believe it was near the beginning anyway, I wrote a poem about how I was lost and not on my personal road to/with God, but a friend had helped me to get back on...I think now is a good time to share that poem...Some have already seen it and that's fine but...I feel like I need to post it here.

ANGEL

I was walking around in darkness,
Trying to find my way.
How come it didn’t occur to me,
That all I had to do was pray?

But then You brought me someone
An angel from the sky.
And I could tell he was from You,
With just the look in his eye

I could feel peace in his presence
I found comfort in his name,
So that night I searched for You,
And prayed thanks that he came.

I read your words of wisdom,
I’m sorry it took so long.
I prayed for forgiveness,
And also to be strong.

But to gain strength you have to fight,
And I felt too weak.
But Your angel was there to help me,
And brought me to my feet.

I’m still seeking all Your glory,
And pray for it everyday.
But I thank You for coming back for me,
I know now that I’ll be okay.

I owe my happiness to Your angel,
That You sent from the skies.
And if I need to find You,
I’ll just look into his eyes.

I do feel so blessed, that I have had the chance to do the things I've done and meet the people I've met, especially those I feel have helped me so much spiritually. It's really not an easy thing to be on a road that you feel you belong to so much...then find yourself fallen off of it...and then to get back on again. Wow...I just..it's hard for me to think and try to explain what I strong feeling I had when I knew that God was calling me back to Him...It was just something that I could feel in my heart...I knew I had to get back on that road, and I'm so glad I did.

-Dear Heavenly Father, thank You so much for all that You have done for me. I pray with my whole heart that You will bless my friends who have done so much and who've helped to bring me back to You, Lord. I can't imagine how I ever lived without You completely in my heart, and I hope I never have to feel that emptiness again. I have always believed in You, Father...and if that means that I have Blind Faith, than I thank You for that blessing. In Jesus' name, I pray...Amen.-

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers my friends. Until next time, God Bless.
