This is part one of a five series blog post discussing my five components to "true" wellness.
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1 (NLT)
Having deep faith or spiritual fitness is the 1st part of achieving fitness. Faith is fitness for the soul.
I believe that God loves each and every one of us and has a plan for our lives. This doesn't mean that things will be easy because I can promise you that they won't. We will all face difficult circumstances.
It's how we deal and react to those circumstances that will determine if we will be able to overcome difficult situations. By knowing and understanding that God does love us and wants the best for us, we are better able to deal with anything that life may throw at us.
Faith is not seen. You can not prove its existence, but it's real.
I spent many years of my life believing that I was the source of my happiness. I had the power to make things better. I had the skill to control everything. The fact is that we will face situations on our lives that are completely out of our control. In those times we need a loving and forgiving God to lean on.
We need faith that even though it may not always be the answer we want to hear that everything will be OK.
Faith is not tangible but it oversees all things tangible. You could have ample money, a large house, a wonderful job, loving family, etc., but any of these things could be taken without notice.
The only thing we can truly count on with 100% certainty is our own faith. Faith delivers hope. Hope inspires love.
"Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love." (1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT

Brent we are very much in the same place in regard to faith and fitness. Happy to see someone else who shares the same view on this. You need to exercise your faith and put it into action the same way you keep your body fit to run the race. Good stuff!
