It is not natural for us to move and do things based on faith because faith requires us to believe in something which most of the time contradicts logic or our senses.

There is a pair of barn swallows that made the front porch of the house where I'm staying their home. I hear that they have been nesting there since 2008 and return every summer. The pair had 3 chicks which had grown and where about ready to fly.

For such a short and easy word it probably has the most weight to it. We say it so often and so easily and yet do we really know it or understand it?
Love on its own has enough gravity but when you add unconditional to it, it goes to a whole new level. Love to define it in the simplest possible way is a principle of doing to another as you would want to be done unto you.

We have seen so far how we are stewards, and how we absolutely live, move and have our being in God. Everything we have is the Lord's. The jobs we have, the shelter we have, the means to survive, all we get from God. The time, talents, means and health are all blessings from God. We are stewards for all the things God gives us namely:

I am at a point in my life where I am having to make some major decisions. I guess there’s no way to avoid decisions because everything in life involves them. We make decisions about everything from small things like what we eat to major ones like who to marry or whether to take up a job offer in a different state or even country.
