Faith or Deed?

So are we justified by faith or deeds?

To say that blind faith without deed is a farce would be rather harsh. I'd prefer to put it this way: we should let our actions express our faith in a way that is befitting of a Christian. Its one thing to postulate or discuss. Its another altogether when we're brought back down to earth and are distracted by earthly desires, emotions and beliefs. Its easy to say if its meant to be, it'll be; but the possibility of our actions changing the outcome dangles like a carrot. Our freedom of choice is the very thing that causes us to make wrong decisions. Wouldn't it be great if a path is created for us which we would only just have to follow? No difficult or wrong decisions would have to be made.

Constantly, we're exposed to seeds of evil and jealousy being planted in our heads. Its a constant battle or even a war with the evil forces in the world. But sometimes we're so caught up with the world that we allow these seeds of evil and jealousy to manifest. Brothers and sisters reading this, I tell you, it is a fallen world we live in, and we are all flawed. A conscious effort has to be made to fight the evil. Extract ourselves from the worldly situation and look at our lives through heaven's eyes. Then reflect on our actions and thoughts. Evil grows in our minds so I always find myself asking for purity in thought, to be true to what i say, believe, and even think i believe.

Do I wait for God's master plan to unravel itself to me? Or do I begin to pursue what I actively believe in? How do you follow your heart when all its telling you is to screw someone over? How can i tell somebody that their thinking is flawed when i share the exact sentiments? How do you not feel like a fake?

What can i do to make sure my will is alligned with God's plan for me?
