To believe and have faith without seeing takes courage and strength.
Christians, do you agree? Do you struggle with your faith at times?

I think everyone struggles with thier faith at one time or another. Especially in this age of instant gratification we want instant answers and that is not always the way of God. Sometimes I will pray so hard for something and then wonder why God doesn't answer. I have finally learned that He is answering me, it's just not always the answer I want. But I have also learned that as I look back (hindsight always being 20/20) that it was the right answer. In many cases if I had gotten what I was praying for at the time I would have missed a much greater blessing that God had waiting for me at another junction of my life.
Yes, feeling and touching give immediate gratification but faith is faith for a reason.

Once you have a personal relationship with God, it takes neither strength or courage to know that you are in His presence.
God has proven Himself to me and He will prove Himself to anyone who is willing to open their heart to Him when He calls them. Faith has nothing to do with it. That is a teaching of religion...and religion was made by man.

Ya know, in all honesty, I have always felt the Holy Spirit in my life, I have always had the conviction of God and known His presence- which I am very happy about because I don't ever want to doubt His existence or have my faith lowered. My faith however just continues to increase the more I seek Him. He is alive and is active in our hearts! As His word speaks to us, and is alive in us! He is alive in us through His word!
And it is amazing- many do not know that personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and it makes me sad....but it is awesome and the more you seek and walk in the truth, the more the Lord reveals Himself to you.

Takes courage to step in front of a bus too, doesn't mean it's the smart thing to do
