Samantha... Growing Up Christian/ Growing and Building Faith that Pleases God (Session 1... Teen Addition)-Rashea@LLO2 Academy
"Geesh! Where did the time go? Time sure flies. It seems just like yesterday since my adventures with Jesus.
The space suit pajamas. The spaceship. Mommy tucking me in good night.☺️
(Chuckling) I had a big imagination back then, but now I am a teenager. Life has changed. I have changed in so many ways, but my love for Jesus and those many space adventures I still do love and cherish.
I sense that it's time for me to grow my faith, just as I have grown as a person. Build my faith just like my imagination, as a child. But where do I begin?"
Jesus said, "Have child like faith."
"Think, Samantha...π€π. Go back to the days of those space adventures with Jesus, when you believed landing on Pluto was possible. π€£π Mars me stars.π€¦♀️π I guess the joy of childhood is still there, deep within my heart."π
Child Like Faith, Samantha.
Grow faith. Not doubt. Build faith. Not fear.
Through Jesus, what I believe in my heart is achievable!
Where do I begin? Do I step out in belief within my heart or in my actions first? Maybe it's believing in my heart first. Then, I bravely take steps of faith. Right?
Yes! That sounds about right. "Faith without actions will not work, the Bible says."
I do understand child like faith now. Even when a child feels afraid or hesitant at first, they dare to try anyways. Yes!
Beam me up to the moon, Jesus.π I will dare to try! I will exercise faith.
Grow faith. Not doubt. Build faith. Not fear.
When my abilities fail me, I will lean into the power of Jesus. When doubt and fear tells me, "I can't." I will trust the Voice and Word of the God Who says, "I can do it!"
"I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHS ME." -Philippians 4:13
