the cracked vessel

there are tons of verses in the new testament that talk about how we are saved through faith... how people were healed through their faith... how people failed because they had no faith... how people won't be saved because they don't have faith... Peter sank because he didn't have faith... "oh ye of little faith"...

if it is perfect faith in the Savior that saves us, i don't know if i have that... i don't know what that looks like...

but i know believing in everything else got me nowhere, when i actually sit down and pray i feel more reassured, when i leave a church service or conversation or worship jam where spirituality existed and God was present i carry the sorrow in my heart with a smile, and when things seems impossible, i know God's got it in control...

i am a proud person, i find it really difficult to give things up to God and believe he'll take care of all... but it takes perfect faith to do that... and i believe he'll work with me and love me even in the majority of the time when i'm not loving him back...

i don't have perfect faith, but i am perfectly loved...
how crazy is that?
