What does it take to have faith?
a trusting heart?
credibility of the person concerned?
good experience?
a big chance of an event happening?
Why is faith necessary anyways?
couldn’t we just act out of valid proofs?
couldn’t we just value things
that are a hundred percent certain to succeed?
I don’t know either
I can’t say I have all the answers
whoever does?
I just have faith that somehow
things do turn out for the better
and that there is a reason for everything
that happens around us, and within us
There is so much going on
that we can’t understand
but it is either that everything is futile
or that everything makes perfect sense somewhat
It is either this life is
the most tragic event there is
or by faith, this life is
the most beautiful thing that ever took place in time!

I do ask for reason and purpose in everything but it isn’t the case all the time. I think faith is built that way…trust is vital. God didn’t promise a clear road ahead of us but He did promise to be with us and of life everlasting with Him. I am in God’s hand.
I believe faith requires action and God is like water. We can not hold water in our hands.I believe like water we can just get our feet wet, ease in slowly, or just dive in completey. God responds to our faith in action in direct correlation to how we enter the water if we choose to enter at all.
