The Higher We Dream, The Stronger Our Faith

     I've dreamed of being a writer since I was in the eighth grade.  I dreamed of changing the world

with my literature by being a mirror to the world, so we could see reflections of ourselves.  I only

write about God because God is the only thing worth writing about.  I constantly write everyday

and night, persisting to open eyes of the world.  The only way the world would change is by us

changing spiritually and mentally.  The higher we dreame, the stronger our faith in God is.  Faith

without works is dead.  (James 2:14-26)  What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have

faith but has no deeds?  Can such faith save him?  Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes

and daily food.  If one you says to him, "Go, I wish you well.  Keep warm and well fed," but does

nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?  In the same way, faith by itself, if not

accompanied by actions is dead.  But someone will say, "Show me your faith without deeds, and

I will show you my faith by what I do:"

     You believe that there is one God.  Good.  Even the demons believve that- and shudder.  You

foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?  Was not our ancestor

Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar.  You

see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by

what he did.  And the scripture fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited

to him as righteousness, and he was called God's friend.  You see that a person is  justified by

whatvhe does and not by faith alone.  In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered

righteous for what she did.  When she gave lodging to the spies and sent them in a different direction.

As the body without the spirit is dead, so is faith without deeds is dead.  So this is true.  The higher

we dream, the cstronger our faith, because we trust God will give us the desires of ourr hearts. (Psalm

37:4)  Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.  If our dreams

aren't high, what's the sense of having faith?    Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the

evidence of things not seen.  (Hebrews 11:1)  Our dreams must reach heaven to satisfy God.

When they reach heaven, that shows the strength of our faith.
