In 2009, I asked my mom to write down what FAITH means to her, and I shared it on my blog at that time. Since today is Mother's Day, and in honor of her, I want to share her article with you again.
Even though I am focusing on TRUST for this year's posts, you will notice below that FAITH and TRUST are very similar in definition.
FAITH: Complete trust or confidence in someone or something. (In this case: God)
TRUST: Reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; Confidence.

What is Faith to Me?
By: Carolyn McIntosh
I think of the words to a song, “FAITH is just believing what God says He will do. He will never fail you, His promises are true.”
FAITH is trusting in Jesus alone as the one who died for my and your sins. Believe He was buried and rose again from the grave. He promised He would forgive us if we believe in Him and ask His forgiveness.
FAITH is believing, if we have the faith of a mustard seed, we can move mountains (Matthew 17:20). God has moved many mountains for me and my family - both physically and financially. Why? Because He promised to supply our needs. Not our wants, but our needs.
I have a prayer journal and have had it for about 40+ years. I encourage you to do the same. Then, occasionally go back and read how God was faithful to you, in good and hard times, sometimes even giving you some of your wants. That’s how good God is!
God is faithful to us. We need to be faithful to Him. Believe His Word (His promises), read it and obey it. Cling to His promises every day and, if you are His child, believe His promises are true for you - because He said, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5b)
