LOSING YOUR FAITH

​losing your faith is not like losing your car keys, wallet, or even your phone. One minute you’re holding onto it, only setting it down for a second with all intentions of picking it back up. Then the next thing you know, it’s gone. You’ve forgotten it somewhere along the way. It’s easy to lose those things and find them again because they’re needed, or so to be. Losing your faith happens gradually. It happens so slowly that you don’t even realize that it’s gone. It wasn’t a conscious decision to let go of. It just happened but one thing led to the next. You get to a point where you feel it’s no longer needed, so you forget about it and put it to the side. A lot of people thought I’d lose my faith after having endured a traumatic experience like mine. I always ask God. Why did it happen to me? Why not someone else? I would never wish this upon even my worst enemy. Despite dealing with anxiety and depression, God has given me more reason to have faith in the Lord. While I was in the hospital I overheard the nurses and doctors regaining their faith as they saw me get better. Nobody thought I would make it. But after every surgery they started to regain the faith that they had lost. But getting to see them regain their faith made it seem like God really does have a plan. Sure I wish it would have never happened to me, or anyone, but had it not, where would their faith be to this day. I’m beyond blessed that God uses me as His vessel. 

Because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. James 1:3
