What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?
When asked to share the coolest thing I’ve ever found and kept, there’s only one answer that truly resonates with my heart: my faith in God. Faith isn’t just a set of beliefs—it’s a transformative, life-giving force that shapes everything. For me, nothing can be “cooler” than the kind of faith that has brought peace in chaos, hope in despair, and strength in weakness.
Why Faith is the Ultimate Find
The Bible tells us that “without faith it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11:6). It’s the bridge that connects us to the Creator, allowing us to experience His presence and purpose daily. Faith gives life depth and dimension, a perspective that transcends mere human understanding.
Faith isn’t just about believing; it’s about knowing and trusting that God is with you, no matter what. As Romans 10:17 says, “Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” This means faith grows as we stay close to God, learning from His word and trusting in His promises.
Experiencing Faith in Action
Over the years, I’ve witnessed incredible things through faith. There have been times when I felt lost, but God provided a way. Times when I was weak, and He gave me strength. And countless moments where I doubted, but faith in His love and power renewed my hope. The Bible is full of stories that remind us of this power—of Moses parting the Red Sea, of David defeating Goliath, of Jesus healing the sick. And in my own way, I’ve seen God show up in ways that were beyond my imagination.
Faith as a Daily Treasure
Keeping faith isn’t always easy; life throws its fair share of challenges our way. But that’s what makes faith even more remarkable. Jesus told us, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move” (Matthew 17:20). Even in moments of doubt, a small step of faith can yield incredible outcomes.
Holding on to faith means choosing to trust God’s goodness, no matter how things look. In Ephesians 6:16, Paul describes faith as a “shield”—something that protects and strengthens us against life’s challenges. This shield has become my most valued possession, something I carry every day.
Faith as a Witness to Others
Another amazing part of faith is how it impacts those around us. Faith isn’t meant to be hidden; it’s something that shines. Jesus said, “Let your light shine before others, so they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). By living with faith, we become a testament to God’s love and power, inspiring others to seek Him and find hope.
When people see the peace, strength, and resilience that faith brings, they can’t help but wonder about the source. In a world that often feels uncertain, there’s something incredibly “cool” about living with a purpose, grounded in the unshakeable love of God.
Conclusion
So, what’s the coolest thing I’ve ever found and kept? My faith in God. It’s the anchor in my storm, the light in my darkness, and the strength in my weakness. Faith isn’t a single experience; it’s a journey—one that continually grows as I walk with God.
If you’re reading this and wondering about faith, I invite you to give it a chance. Seek God, trust Him, and see what He can do in your life. Faith is the gift that keeps on giving, the treasure that never fades, and the coolest thing you could ever find and keep.
