Believe it, it’s Sunday again and it’s like it was only yesterday when Nate and I were busy being crazy together.
Do you believe that faith is a choice?
Early this morning, the homily was about faith and choices. There is this story of a man traveling in a secluded place when he lost the brakes of his car. He catapulted to a ravine and the car went down the ridge with him hanging in a tree branch. It was dark and he could not see anything. He prayed that his life be spared because he was not ready to die. He shouted for help but nobody came. He noticed that he was being shackled by his shirt which was hanging from the tree. He prayed again fervently that someone helps him in his predicament. Then he heard a voice that said, “Jump and I will catch you.” But out of fear, he stayed and didn’t. The following day, some people found him hanging still, lifeless. They looked at the road down, it was only a meter from where the man was. Because of fear, he died. Just imagine if he jumped, there was a possibility that he was saved.
Most of the time in our lives, we have to make choices. They may not be the best, or it may not be the best choice we had to make but we believe in it.
Faith.
Never lose that faith. Never lose that belief that somehow that One up there would never forsake us. Do not waver in your faith. I remember a book I read before of Mitch Albom called Have A Little Faith. This book taught me so many things. Our journeys in life are not always that smooth. We keep on believing that it would be one long ride of faith and courage.
Have a blessed week ahead.
