WE LIVE BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT

Nonyboy u ar no way to see. RIP DEAR ONE.

Abraham responded with a persevering faith when God ask him to leave the past behind and launch out into an unknown future. The spirituality of Abraham ruggedly try out to follow God's call in the obscurity of faith remains basic for christian faith. Faith leaves us with the ability to be surprised by God, and still to be joyful at what we have already understood about his mysterious ways. This faith as an ongoing process grows as we grow, changes as we change, and matures as we mature. We do not know in advance how God's demanding love may make demands that will clash with our ingrained selfishness. We cannot know when personal illness, bereavement or some other trying experiences will put us to the test. But we do know that our life will be a success if we set our hearts on values that go beyond all the transitory goods of this world. Our faith, like Abraham's, is leading us onward, always pointing to something still to come, and at the end of our pilgrimage, like his, all God's promise will be fulfilled. If we really try and respond to God's grace as they did, then our faith also will grow strong and vigorous, like that of those great figures of the Old Testament who were commended for their trust in God's world. We have seen this take place in the lives of people we happen to know, how they often acquire great serenity in the face of acute and prolonged suffering. Meanwhile, although the final reward of faith in God will come hereafter in his promised kingdom, even here and now it is possible to acquire a foretaste of that eternal peace which this world cannot give.Abraham responded with a persevering faith when God ask him to leave the past behind and launch out into an unknown future.
