1 Peter 1. “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls” (Verses 3-9). We walk by faith. At least that is what we are meant to do. Many times our struggles with God comes, not because He isn’t true and real, but because we choose sight. Sight is limited, it captures only what the naked eye can see, and what the physical can touch, taste, and smell. Not so with faith. Faith has no boundaries. Why?  It requires us to believe beyond the physical. It pushes us past the limits of the physical world and stands us squarely at the throne of God. Faith is limitless. We have a hope that is secure, but we can only access and use it by putting feet to our faith. The choice is ours: Limited sight, LIMITLESS faith.
