TREASURE OF THE HEART: The Ultimate Drive to Living the Faith
The Christian journey is a lifelong voyage of constant discovery and rediscovery of God’s love. That is why a Christian’s growth in faith is rightly measured by one’s love, a fruit borne from the knowledge of God’s love which then impels and urges us on and sustains us as we go through life, often awaiting divine interventions.
With God’s love in our hearts as our impelling force, our waiting is purposeful, not idle. It is an act of faith which stands on the faithfulness of the One who makes the promises to come. So, the Christian waits with openness, knowing fully that the fulfilment of God’s promises goes beyond the person and extends to generations. That we do not know when and how our true heart’s desire in God shall be accomplished, shouldn’t weigh us down. Rather, it should lead us to preparedness, knowing that we are changed in the waiting process… [It is not] a moment of idling for God, nor is it so for the Christian. Indeed, the waiting is already part of the fulfilment.
How does a Christian live the faith in a world easily offended by the truth? How does a Christian spread the message of God’s love to a disillusioned and wounded world amid one’s woundedness? How can we not be discouraged by our circumstances, which often contradict the content of our witnessing? Find practical but realistic responses and approaches to some of our weightiest faith questions in Treasure of the Heart, the ultimate drive to living the faith.
