BTT in 3 days and a wonderful pool day (:

The pool is slowly turning into one of the most biblical grounds ever.:P

+[ 2 Corinthians 5:7]

" We live by faith and not by sight."

Man has the irresistible urge to live by sight contrary to the popular slogan, " Seeing is believing." But God like He always is, gives man the greatest challenges. Live by faith and not by sight.

But i think now that actually living by faith instead of living by sight may very much be easier. A revelation that floated into my thoughts as my brain disengaged itself from the occasional splish-splosh of the pool and the muted silence beneath the azure waters.

Ever ran a race or swam a distance soooooooooooooo, sooooooooooo, soooooo very long that you wish you could just give up on the spot and say, " Forget it, i'm never gonna make it." or wish you could just die on the spot. It sure felt like that when i first swam with goggles today.

The laps seemed to number so slowly as i stared through the murky water towards the other end of the pool. Not to mention that my sight continually misted, which annoyed me to no end.
Then i tossed the goggles aside and just swam. Every time i touched a wall, it felt indescribably satisfying and laps and time just flew.

Maybe living with faith works the same way.

Sight limits faith.
Because we tend to judge how much we can achieve.

Simply put,

Sight leads to : human effort + human expectation = human results
Faith leads to : human effort + miracle-sized expectation + God's work = unlimited possibilities and results

God didn't want us to limit our own potential, he wanted us to live out our fullest.
With the little faith and the little effort we have achieve more.

Small is the NEW Big.

+ [ Matt 17:20b]
" I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Let start to move our mountains (:
I wanna move mine real soon :D
