What is the state of your faith?

What is the state of your faith? Faith is a very personal thing and the true state of a person’s faith can only be judged by God. It is impossible to hide our true feelings from Him for He knows our innermost thoughts and all motives are laid bare before Him. Anything less than an honest appraisal of our personal level of faith is a futile effort, for it will be of no spiritual benefit whatsoever. As we have seen in the previous section even a small amount of faith, small as a mustard seed, can accomplish much. Yet in saying this it must never be forgotten that whatever is accomplished is not by our own efforts, but of God. We have nothing, no knowledge, no skill, no ability, not one single thing that has not been given to us.
