Having faith does not mean things will happen for you instantly, In fact it may take a while for what you are believing to come to fruition
Having faith instead is you saying that as you wait you are also doing your part for with God it’s really about partnering with and forming an allegiance too with the One Who can change things in your life
Admittedly its not always easy to wait, it’s not always easy to trust as some would make it seem because waiting on God at times also means being tugged and pulled and stretched and realistically who wants that? I know I don’t. I would love for it to be all easy breezy and problem free but, if that were to be the case there would be no need for God really
So in essence having faith is saying you understand what comes with waiting, you understand what comes with believing and as such you are still willing, open and ready to do your part completely
