My dear friends, today’s podcast song, again brings me back in time, to a familiar place where changes and growth were deepening my Faith in God. This song, ‘This Faith I Have’, was written while I was just a baby Christain. By that I mean, I was just learning. Like, how the Holy Spirit is more than part of a Blessing, before and after a prayer or prayers are prayed, you know, “In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen”. I’ve mentioned previously how I started going to prayer meetings, and how I would be attentive to the Bible teachings given by Fr. Bill and Sister Bernadette at their Holy Spirit Breakfast. Their teachings made Truth come alive for me. Faith, my dear friends, comes from hearing. It was through these teachings that my heart longed to know more about Jesus, about the Holy Spirit. At the same time of being filled Spiritually, I also encountered rejections and difficulties. And yet, it was as though Jesus Himself was listening to my heart. And I know He was. He hears our heart’s cries and He hears the joys our hearts sings. This song really is pretty much telling this type of story, the before and the after. Faith, I asked Jesus in my life. Faith, I told Jesus my thoughts. Faith, I have a relationship with God. Faith, God answered my cries and replaced my tears with His Gift of Joy! Faith, is a precious Gift. This song is one of my first deep prayers to Jesus.
