Faith walks simply, childlike, between the darkness of human life and the hope of what is to come. Doubt is a necessity of the mind, faith of the heart. Faith is not belief. Belief is passive.
Faith is active.
Faith is a curious thing. Faith is that quality or power by which the things desired become the things possessed. Faith is for that which lies on the other side of reason. Faith is what makes life bearable, with all its tragedies and ambiguities and sudden, startling joys. The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God.
