Romans 10:17                        New English Translation

17 Consequently, faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the preached word of Christ.

Listening to your own desires

I wish, I was in love with faith, but that would be an addiction

If this or that brings the faith for me it’s not worth the having

I wonder why? I don’t think it’s too bad a thing to possess it

If it becomes my personal property I have time to think of Heaven

1 Corinthians 12:8-9 New English Translation

8 For one person is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, and another the message of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

Reality

It seems all faith deals with the past to form a foundation of trust

You know God will, because He did, and that for all of us

For one who believes and relies on Him, He always comes through

In His time He underlines His purpose for our good
