Do you thank God for your Faith? I do, every day! But what if you feel that you don't have any or little faith? Well, like the apostle who cried out to Jesus: "Lord, increase my faith!"
As a matter of fact, I also pray that each day in my Rosary on the first three beads, for an increase of Faith, Hope and Charity through the Immaculate Heart of Mary! Those are the three cardinal virtues that we need in our spiritual journey to Heaven. How could we live here on earth with all its trials and tribulations with out them.
We need Faith, to carry us through the tough times and to persevere and stay close to God amidst the storms; we need Hope to encourage us on in our struggle and have a goal, which is eternal life; we need Charity, to love God with all our hearts and souls and our neighbor as ourselves, because without love we can't get into Heaven. Hell is for those who hate God and their fellow man. And those who go there will hate for all eternity and suffer for it. Heaven is for those who love God and their fellow man. And those who go there will love for all eternity and enjoy heavenly bliss, eternal happiness!
I know where I'm going; how about you?
