Faith
At the time when Lazarus was sicken ill and died Mary and Martha, Lazarus sisters sent word to Jesus, with a strong belief that He would come to save their brother. Martha wasn’t always ready to sit down with the Lord but now that crisis was upon her family. She knew the time had come to strengthen her belief in the ways of the Kingdom of God.
It must have been agonizing for her and Mary, waiting and watching for the Lord’s face as he would appear two day later. I take account of how Jesus stopped outside of the town. Waiting on the outskirts, for Martha arrival one could only feel for Martha upon notice that Jesus had arrived. The pain of knowing, if Jesus could have arrive earlier, Lazarus would have lived. Reading John 11:20-25 Martha believed, Jesus was sent by God and is the Son of God. Her belief yet strong, was still in need of growth.
Look back over your life or look at the events of today and ask yourself. Where and how can my belief in Jesus Christ grow? Go and read John 11 and allow yourself to flow into Martha story and feel your way into a renewing of mind with Jesus to strengthen the pathway to Peace, Love and Hope in the Kingdom of God.

The article is well intentioned, I'm sure. However, the body of the work did not say, or rather, did not clarify the title. There are times a title does need to be used word for word in the article, though not always. For example; when the author has embodied that title sufficiently in the essence of the writing itself, the title is illuminated, if you will, and there is no need to use it verbatim. As for me, and I don't know that I'm any kind of an exception to a rule, I look for catchy, thoughtful and/or creative titles. I seldom read one with, what I term as "generic". Honestly, the only reason I read it today is because I've read a large percentage of the other articles already. Because of the title I almost didn't read this one. Hang in there, writing can be a real work-out. This is a critique, not a criticism. Also, there are some grammar review web sites that may be valuable to you to allow your writing to flow. Finally, wake your spell-checker up and tell it to get to work!
