Faith and Hope in a scary world

Times are definitely tough right now. Economies bad, jobs are being lost, business's going bankrupt. A lot of people out there are pretty scared right now. With everything seemingly coming apart around us it is easy to see how some people might want to give up. That feeling of hopelessness can be very overbearing. Especially if you have a family. If you are a father or husband it can down right rip you apart from the inside out knowing that your family lost or are loosing all there provision's. You know what let's get lower then that Imagine you live on the streets with no one but yourself or say you lived in some 3rd world country where you haven't had a decent piece of food or even a drink in days,weeks maybe months. What I am trying to get at is that complete feeling of despair. That situation where you are almost in a panic because you know there is nothing you can do to keep the walls around you from falling. If you have never felt this way consider yourself extremely blessed. This has happened to myself more times that I can remember. My entire life has collapsed right on my head time and time again just for me to climb out of the ruble dusty, bruised but alive. I have never been or lived in an under privileged country I have been homeless a time or to with one foot in the gutter and the other definitely in a freshly dug grave. You know I don't know how to get what I am trying to say but it is this. No matter how bad or hopeless or even impossible your situation may be you can escape through Faith. For as little that word is there is so much power in it. Some day I am gonna write a book testifying the proof of this little word. My entire survival is because of faith. I have been really studying the bible lately,not just reading it but studying it and today I read a verse in the book of Luke where Jesus states " If you had faith even the size of a mustard seed you could tell a fig tree to dig itself up and plant itself in the ocean and it would." I thought man that would be cool, so I went outside and tried all day to get the tree in my front yard to dig it self up, Not really. The amazing thing that this Say's to me is if you just believe,have just a little faith that anything is possible. Even out here in computer world,I don't care what it is you do the best way to succeed,the only way to succeed is through faith. Try doing anything without some kind of faith and see how sucessful you are. I don't care if it's the greatest get you rich whatever in the world, without faith it's no good. Even if you are the best teacher guru or whatever,I have seen them all, without faith in themselves or some kind of faith from others your nothing. I have been reading a book by Dr. Wayne Dyer called "The power of intention" This whole book is based on the connecting with source (GOD) in everything we do and how all we want is possible. He goes on to explain the seven faces of intention which include Love,abundance,Creativity,beauty,kindness,expansion,and receptivity. All things that are based in Christ Love being number one. Could you imagine if we could base everything we did and had faith in those seven faces of intention what kind of world this would be. I myself strive everyday to base my life and everything in it on those things and have unwavering FAITH that no matter what things will be o.k. I will achieve my aspirations and others around me will benefit as well. Some may read this and just say whatever,some may not read it at all, but if just one person reads this and gets it Man that would be GREAT! I hope everyone reads this actually. I have faith in that whoever does read this it will give them some hope. Let them know they are not alone. That they can make it,just have faith. Jesus Christ is always there, he knows your situation and he loves you. Have faith in that and you can even beat death, no lie read the bible it's true. This is my call in life to write, to help others, to be a vessel for which the lord to works through. Some day I am going to speak to others as well as write my books. I don't know how yet but it is not for me to know yet it is for me just to see it in my head,believe it and have FAITH. It will happen. Everyone of you will get signed copies of my first book! LOL Dear lord, I would first like to thank you and tell you how grateful I am for all you have blessed me with,including every single one of my friends. Bless every single one of them,there families and loved ones. Please lord touch all those who are scared, lonely, hungry,hopeless and desperate let them know they aren't alone and to have faith. Father you are perfect,unwavering and you are Love. Thank you father for being the best daddy in the whole world! In your precious name I pray Amen. If you do read this do me one favor,go somewhere by yourself and just ask God to speak to you then listen. Don't just listen with your ears listen with your heart You will be suprised at what you hear. Don't be shy try it, he's waiting for you. You'll be glad you did God Bless Bradley D Gardner
