The Factors of Faith & Trust Part 1 of the Faith Chronicles

You know I got to thinking of the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
He quoted: "Trust thyself:every heart vibrates to that iron string."

Then I got to thinking of the words of the renown poet and playwright William Shakespeare that quoted these words: "To thine own self be true".

Trust and belief in oneself is a magnificent tool in fact an asset that we inhabit, it just relies within our being if we apply it or for that matter if we even acknowledge that we possess it. I got to thinking of some encouraging words from some dear friends, and the bulb in my cranium suddenly magnified. If someone can remind me of my strength, apparently my strength, my character my being itself is visible. So why so i find myself constantly reminding myself of my strengths and values. Sometimes one the road less traveled we're faced with adversities, adversaries and forces of negativity, BUT we must remember that its not us ourselves that make it happen. Answer the many questions or figure out much confusions, we must for that matter lean towards faith and the words that are printed in the good book for all guides and avenues of our disturbances, doubts, questions and fears. A friend reminded me of this scripture:

Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and cannot unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

Also my mom sent me a fax the same day with this tidbit of inspiration and awareness:

A saint is not one who never falls, it is one who gets up and goes on every time he falls. She then passed on this scripture for clarity... "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" ~ Galatians 6:9

Until my next post, be inspired, increase your faith, perhaps cling onto your faith and grasp your belief factor and lessen not your trust, for things may not occur how and when we may want them, to but in due time. Patience is a virtue and at times a hard pill to swallow, but anything worth having, gaining or obtaining is worth waiting for and the reward is much more valued.

Peace, Love, Infinite Blessings & Prosperity.
