"And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.."
Matthew 17:20
My Faith is my most valuable trait since that comes straight from God. Any characteristic that I could muster myself is fleeting and conditional.
When my faith takes center stage of the foundation of my life is when my own traits shine through such as meekness, courage, discernment, and peacefulness. For without my faith and trust in Christ, I would honestly not have the strength to move forward. The days in which my faith becomes shaken, I find myself struggling more with depression and anxiety. The unknowns and fears of the world, bleed more easily into my mind and spirit during these times, making me a less effective Christian and all-around member of society. The devil is hyper aware of my insecurities and shortcomings and uses every opportunity to throw them back in my face. Making me cower in the corner like a child.
When I put on the full armor of God, the devil loses most, if not all his bite. He goes from the forked-tongued dragon roaring at the top of its lungs, to a mere worm having to whisper negative thoughts in my ear.
My faith has given me the ability to have a calm mind and heart during these troubling times in our world today. Not only for my own sake but it allows me to be a better witness and example to those around me.
