Developing a sense of hopefulness helps us to maintain a positive focus on the future.
Hopefulness has many facets. The three most important are these: a sense of purpose, a devotion to service, and a sense of faith.
Today’s focus: faith.
Faith means a positive focus on a belief, trust, and power outside of yourself.
Our culture tells us that: Seeing is believing. The truth is: Believing is seeing.
Faith offers us the ability and power to be future focused—the ability to trust and keep our eyes on the prize… even when others can’t “see” what we see. Dr. King reminds us that “faith is taking the first step even when you can’t see the whole staircase.” Indeed, faith is about building the bridge, even as we walk across it.
What is the rhythm of faith in your life? What must you let go of, so that you can be faithful to what is calling you–now?
