<p>What is your basic faith? Is it believing that God created the  heavens and the earth, or is it believing that Jesus died for OUR sins  on the cross, or is it simply believing that everything happened by  chance and there is no eternity waiting for us?</p>
<p>If your basic faith is the last one, I want to commend you, in really  having great faith, as this is a bigger stretch of faith for me, than  having faith in a Creator and an Omnipotent and Omnipresent God.</p>
<p>To really believe that we humans, and other animals, have just  happened form nothing, and to be passionate about it, really is amazing  to me. How emotions, and all that goes with it, could just happen. That  the drive that all of us have in us, is just because&#8230;</p>
<p>I have great faith in the fact that God created everything. That I am  not here by accident, and that God really has a plan for my life, which  He is already putting in place. By having this faith, I want to extent  it by doing what Peter tells us in 2 Peter 1:5-9 (The Message)</p>
<blockquote><p>So don&#8217;t lose a minute in building on what you&#8217;ve been  given, complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual  understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder,  warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and  developing the others. With these qualities active and growing in your  lives, no grass will grow under your feet, no day will pass without its  reward as you mature in your experience of our Master Jesus. Without  these qualities you can&#8217;t see what&#8217;s right before you, oblivious that  your old sinful life has been wiped off the books.</p></blockquote>
<p>By doing this, I really want to develop and grow in my relationship  with God. I want to be able to get up in the morning, and tell the  person on the street corner that Jesus loves him, and pray for him, and  be able to, confidently, lead that person to the cross, and give him/her  eternal salvation.</p>
<p>I want to be able to take my musical talents, and be able to play to  people in such a way, as that they will want to know what is different  in me. I want to be able to bless people just by playing music.</p>
<p>A guy in our worship team came to me one day, and said that me and my  wife brings healing through our music that we make, and I want to start  seeing that. Not just play and be recognised, but to start making a  difference for the kingdom, by using my talents that God gave me. To  live my calling, and to be able to lead people to the cross.</p>
<p>I believe that we all have a certain thing that God gave us, that we  need to use for His glory, to lead the unsaved to the cross. Let us all  go out, spend time with God, and hear from Him how we are going to be  able to do these things with our talents, and let us change the world  one day at a time, through the power of Him that gives it to us.</p>
