Today's Jesus card reading is about the faith that will save us.
But is faith a gift from God that we receive, is it only offered to some, or is it something that we autonomously search after?
Faith really is something that we are not given, though it can be achieved by all. Faith is not a gift, as shown by the woman who was hemorrhaging, and this is why those who believe in God's love and compassion are truly, truly blessed and are the salt of the earth. However, the faithful are not immune to dejection, and therefore must remain strong in their conviction, continually seeking after it, because Jesus is not of this world, and in so, neither is hope.
If you have faith, if you even have the slightest bit of hope HOLD ON to it, and let nothing get in it's way. That morsel of hope is going to save your very life, and the lives of countless others. People who are so hurt, people who want to die, or who are planning their deaths, your morsel of hope can rescue them. Your faith, even the size of a mustard seed, is worth its weight in gold. Respect it, nurture it, and above all do not be ashamed of it!
Cherish your faith and the peace that it bestows. Don't confuse your peace for mundanity, show others the hope that you invest in, and see how exhilarating and meaningful life becomes. Faith is not a gift, God didn't make us to be robots who have no free will. Choose God, choose faith, choose peace, and choose to save others. Amen
