Folded into Grandpa Ford's Bible

Grandpa Ford is who my husband was named after (his middle name is Ford). My mother-in-law emailed this to me. She found it in Grandpa Ford's Bible. I love this.

For your consideration:

Fact-God's word written in the bible.
Faith-Our christian walk once we accept Jesus as our Saviour. Christianity is not just a creed; it involves action.
Feelings-Our mortal self for all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God.

Three people were walking along a narrow cliff wall. Their names were Fact, Faith, and Feelings. While Faith kept his eyes on Fact, who was walking in front of him, he had no problems keeping steady and walking straight. However, when he looked over his shoulder at Feelings, he began to totter and nearly fell off the cliff.

In your Christian life, you are walking along a cliff wall. You are Faith. It is most important for you that you keep your eyes on Fact. Don't look over your shoulders at Feelings. Feelings is a variable person. Sometimes he is up, and sometimes down, occasionally depressed, and often moody. But Fact is steady, reliable and unchangeable.

As you keep your eyes on Fact, you find he as three parts to him:

1. The FACT that Christ is risen and alive. this is a matter of history.
2. The FACT that this risen Christ has pledge His word that, if you open the door of your heart to Him, He will come in. REV. 3:20
3. The FACT that you have now opened that door. Therefore, He has come in and is with you forever. Claim it, Believe it, and you will Know it!

So remember! Don't look over that shoulder!
