Gift of Faith

You gotta have faith.

No doubt about it! Have faith in your fellow man or woman, have faith in God.

Faith and Belief go hand and hand. One hand holds the other. Consider it like paper and glue they have to stick together.

Faith requires no evidence of belief. Belief needs to be proven. It can be false. As in “ I believe you did this terrible act!!! But you didn’t.

We all have faith in someone to do the right thing, as in “I have faith in you.” Faith though is a firm belief in something. Faith doesn’t have to be proven.

Joke: A priest, an evangelist, and a minister were in a row boat in the middle of a pond fishing. None of them had caught anything all morning.

Then the evangelist stands up and says he needs to go to the bathroom so he climbs out of the boat and walks on the water to shore. He comes back ten minutes later the same way.

Then the minister decides he needs to go to the bathroom, too, so he climbs out of the boat and walks on the water to shore. He, too, comes back the same way ten minutes later.

The priest looks at both of them and decides that his faith is just as strong as his fishing buddies and that he can walk on water, too. He stands up and excuses himself. As he steps out, he makes a big splash down into the water.

The evangelist looks at the minister and says,” I suppose we should have told him where the rocks were.”

Faith can be fleeting as the wind. You can have faith one day and then lose your faith the next. Religions count on faith because faith is what drives religion. People sometimes switch faiths.

I like the big three: Faith, Hope, and Belief.

Faith brings peace of mind, and knowing that faith will get you through is very powerful indeed. Faith has moved mountains and yet you cannot touch it. Faith can be fleeting in that some people look for faith in all the wrong places. Like: I HAD faith in you and you let me down. Faith departed in a snap of the fingers.

Hope springs eternal. Without hope there is no life.

Belief drives Hope and Faith, because if you believe in faith there is hope.

Confusing, you should have a conversation with my conscience, its talking a mile a minute.
