[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Grace the indescribable feeling of forgiveness and faith more the action on the part of the person?

[b]Would Faith be believing you will have a child after experiencing infertility[/b]? [/quote]

OP, I do not believe that this is an example of faith. It may be your hope, but just because we want something very badly does not mean that it will come to pass. You have hope, but not faith, in this situation.

Faith is trusting that no matter what happens, God's will is perfect and will be fulfilled in your life, no matter what the circumstances.[/quote]

According to this line of thinking, all the praying in the world to have a baby won't work if God, in his perfect will, doesn't want it to happen.  He has his reasons and you won't understand them until you get to heaven -- if you're good.[/quote]

I believe that is true, but only to a point. Remember that ultimately, we are supposed to be praying "thy will be done." Of course God wants to hear our deepest desires and wants, and understands more fully than any human ever could the longing to have a child. He created us, after all. I know this: If it still doesn't work out, despite hours/ years of prayer, God will provide comfort and the peace that passes all understanding, as He shows us the way that He has for our lives.

And going to Heave, BTW, is not about being "good." It is about chosing to follow Jesus Christ all the way to the cross, and to Heaven for eternity.[/quote]
