When You Live in Faith: Here Are 14 Things You Will Always Gain

Living in faith is one big choice you must make each day. You are always right when you choose to live in faith or when you choose to live in doubt. It is your choice and it will always be your choice. When you live in faith, there are things you will be gaining that somebody who is living his or her life in doubt would not gain and would never gain. Below are some things only those who live in faith enjoy or gain:

1.     1. You patiently bear the pain or pay the price or face the risk or sacrifice: Bearing the pain is not pleasant to most people. People detest it. It is depressing and distasteful. Pain is an essential element of growth. Without pain, you will probably not be able to achieve your dreams. When you are living in doubt you will not be strong enough to bear the pain. You need faith to be able to do just that. Paying the price is the pain you go through to get the goods. If you cannot pay the price, you will not be able to get the goods.

Paying the price for victory means doing all the necessary and critical and vital things you should and must do to gain the goods or the crown or the treasure. Paying the price required faith to do it. Facing the risk to surmount the risk. The risk is the obstacle on your way that must be removed. In a simple term, the risk is also the works or duties to be done or performed. It involved the difficult, depressing, disagreeable and distasteful works or duties or responsibilities.

You need faith to do them. It true that most people do not like some of the works to be done or performed. But these works are necessary evils that you must just do them. To patiently bear the pain or pay the price or face the risk or sacrifice, you must live in faith and not living in doubt.

2.     2. You patiently waits the coming of the gains of your pains: When the things you prayed for and work for take longer time to occur or happen, you need faith to stay on course, and patiently waits the coming of the gains. Without faith, you lose you patient. You become vulnerable to series of distractions. Most people find it hard to wait for the things they have prayed for. Because of this, their tendency to give up on their dreams are very high.  It is only those who live in faith that can patiently waits the coming of the gains of their pains. So many people have and are involving themselves in one poor or less important things due to their inabilities to live in faith. Living in faith will help you to bear patiently the gains of your pains. It makes you to still be optimistic.    

3.     3. It boast self-trust and you trust yourself into encouragement: self-trust is the confidence you have about yourself. When you live in faith, it promote your self-trust. When your self-trust is strong or high, it leads you to trust yourself into encouragement. Nobody can encourage you like you or more than yourself. Self-encouragement or self-inspiration is very crucial to success. It is your ability to live in faith, which helps you to gain self-trust. The more you live in faith, the more you keep boasting your self-trust.

4.     4. It keeps your hope alive: Living in faith helps you to gain the merit of keeping your hope alive. To keep you faith alive you need faith to help you achieve this. Hope works with faith. If you faith is dead, you hope is dead as well. And when your hope is dead you are as good as dead. Because nothing move or motivate you to do the needful any longer. That which moves or motivates you to do and keep doing the things you should be doing is having hope which is made possible by living in faith. Hope and faith move together, work together and stay together. They are inseparable. If you have one it boast the other. So, living in faith, keeps you hope alive.

5.     5. Your courage is strengthen: Courage is that quality of mind which enables one to encounter danger and difficulties with firmness, or without fear, or fainting of heart; valor; boldness; resolution. It is a quality of spirit that enables you to face danger or pain without showing fear. It is fearlessness, bravery, valor, gallantry, prowess, intrepidity, heroism, spirit, resolution, fortitude, hardihood, audacity, audaciousness, boldness, daring, mettle, manhood, pluck, spunk. When you live in faith, this is what you gain than someone who live in doubt. Living in faith strengthen your courage. It makes you to become stronger and hardening and daring and tough. People achieve more, when they live in faith than when they live in doubt and fear.

6.     6. It helps you to smile and be optimistic even when your heart is all trouble: Living in faith does not mean the individual or person does not have challenges or problems but the choice differentiate the individuals or persons. In spite the problems people are facing or going through, some people choose to live in doubt and fear while some other people choose to live in faith. It is their choice that separate the two groups. What make one group special is that they choose to live in faith. When you are living in doubt, you will find it hard to smile and be optimistic. Instead, you will become more pessimistic. But living in faith, gives you the edge and the advantage to smile and be optimistic even when you heart is all trouble.

7.     7. You always make a positive confession: Making a positive confession is also a choice you must make. You either choose to make a negative confession or you make a positive confession.  People who live their lives in doubt and fear often are guilty of making negative confessions about themselves and their dreams. By so doing they become negative people and can also bring you down if you also live in doubt and fear or if you are not strong.

People who live their lives in faith are fond of making positive confessions about themselves, their works and dreams. And by so doing they become people of positive mindset or mentality or positive people. They help other people who are not strong to grow because of their positivity, or positivism. So living in faith helps you to always make a positive confession either about yourself, your works and your dreams.

8.     8. You are not afraid of the future: People who live in faith are not afraid of the future. Why? Because they do these things:

(I).They put their best effort into what they do (II). They accept their responsibilities (III). They do something about their problems, as they arise (IV). They bring into their work all of their intelligence and strength (V). They do the things they should do or be doing (VI). They pay proper and concentrated attention to a task (VII). Into every work, simple or difficult they give their best (VIII). They plan ahead, but do not fear the future (IX). They go through problems (X). They are able to deal with most situations that come their way (XI). They do not ignore and forget their responsibilities (XII). They prepare if beaten, to return a thousand times to the most disagreeable or most depressing or most distasteful duty.

When you live in faith, you do not fear the future because you are doing the needful. But those who live in doubt are always afraid of the future because they do not do the above mentioned things.  

9.     9. Your mind stays calm and stable: When you live in faith your mind stays calm and stable because you are doing the things you should be doing as mentioned in point eight (8) above, among other things. They kill themselves to get what they want; their power of actions are equal to their dreams and their progress in faith; they follow their dreams; they face the risks; they challenge what challenges them; they do not do every other things but what they are supposed or required or expected to do; and they stand by their works.

You can never be able to do these if you are living in doubt. Those who live in doubt, their minds are always unsteady and unstable. Their minds always wave here and there. They become incapable to make decisions about themselves and their lives. To gain calmness, and stability of mind, you must live in faith.

10. 10. You always trust yourself into winning and victory: Those who live in doubt frequently doubt themselves into defeat. And because they do this, they avoid, evade, dodge, ignore, forget, and neglect their duties or responsibilities. They easily quit or give up on hope, their dreams, and on themselves. They light their candles and cover them with bowls, thereby preventing themselves from shinning brighter the way they should. But those who live in faith always trust themselves into winning or victory. This keeps their confidence high. When you trust yourself into victory, you will stop doing every other things but what you are meant to do or what you should do or be doing.

11. 11. You keep persisting: Persisting is one of the attribute of living in faith. When you live in faith, you keep persisting and keep persisting until you achieve your dreams. In the face of difficulty or special difficulty, when those who live in doubt and fear are desisting, those who live in faith on the other hands are persisting. Persisting keeps your hope alive. You are not afraid of failure or success or pain or the future because you are persisting in doing what you should be doing. It helps you to return as many times as possible if bidden to the most disagreeable or most depressing duty. Without persisting you cannot wear the crown or seat on the throne.

12. 12. You put happiness or joy into your work: The tendency for people to put sadness into their works is always their choice. It is your choice to put sadness or joy into your work. Nobody can stop you but you. Happiness is free. Those who live in doubt find it hard to put joy into their works. That is why they complain unnecessary, ignore and forget their responsibilities or neglect their work or duty and dodge certain works. But the people who live in faith, find it easy to put happiness or joy into their work that is why they get their work done. When you live in faith, you always be happy doing the things you should be doing.

13.   13. You think positive or well of yourself: There are people out there who are having problems thinking well of themselves. They think negative about themselves and that is why they are negative. They frequently see themselves through a microscope. They have poor image of themselves. And that is the reason many people do not like to trouble or bother or labor themselves to gain the things they prayed for.

When you are negative about yourself, you will deprive yourself of the strength you need. You always think you are not strong enough but deeply, you are stronger than you think. You will not belief in yourself and in your dreams. But those who live in faith, see themselves through a telescope. They have positive image of themselves. This gives them strength and that is why they are willing to sacrifice their time and their lives to gain the object in view.

14. 14. You pray faithfully and work faithfully: Praying faithfully is one thing and working faithfully is another thing entirely. Some people are good in praying faithfully but the same people are not good in working faithfully. It is your work or duty that confirmed your prayer. The prayer become meaningless without the work. Some people think that favor is better than labor but the truth here is that labor precede favor. When you pray faithfully, you must work faithfully as well that is the reason why it is often said that, you must pray as well as work.

Our effort in achieving success can be as empty without undertaking active work. ‘One must pray as if all depend on that prayer and nothing on one’s own effort; and then one must strive as if absolutely everything depended on that striving’- The Saints and ‘the things I pray for, dear lord, give me the grace to labor for’- St. Thomas Moore. Success is 99% my effort and 1% God’s input. So, living in faith helps you to pray faithfully and work faithfully. If you live in faith, you will always know that God count on you as well.                                                                                                          

Those who live in faith gain much of these gains discussed above while those who live in doubt and fear gain nothing. So, learn to live in faith. It pays to live in faith than to live in doubt.
