PROFOUND FAITH

Image is AI-generated.
Ever heard the expression, “Take a leap of faith”? It is what many people say or are told when they are about to undertake a risky venture. Faith is a strong conviction of possible events which will align in our favour and we earnestly look forward to that expected end.

          Religious people hold Faith in very high esteem: it is their guiding light in this dark and dreary world. Faith is the cool hand that holds ours when we are at a crossroads. Faith is that still, small, and usually gently urging voice that spurs us on when we are at the end of our proverbial rope. When we overcome eventually, some attribution goes to faith and grace. Even unbelievers have faith, just not in a power higher than themselves. Their faith is in their abilities and they usually attribute their success or failure to luck.

          In our world today, where physical situations like the economy and poor choices make us feel that the world is collapsing upon us, where positivity is fading faster than the morning mist, profound faith in self, in a higher being, or a trusted circle is what keeps one firmly rooted in the soil of life. Profound faith is rooted in the knowledge that whom we trust or believe to come through for us will do so without holding anything back. Profound faith is intense. Profound faith is absolute. When you throw a child into the air, they laugh because they know that you will catch them. A child holds your hand because they know that you have their back. Profound faith is childlike. Profound faith is unshaken in the face of obstacles.

          We don’t come by faith easily. It begins with knowledge and a strong conviction in something greater than ourselves, then in ourselves as being capable of achieving with the help of the greater entity. When challenges come (because of a choice made or not made), we can face them and overcome them, and that builds us into better and more formidable beings capable of taking on bigger challenging bulls by the horns no matter how thick they are.

          Profound faith is intense. Profound faith comes with wisdom. Have profound faith.

THE UNSUNG HERO: JOSEPH, FATHER OF JESUS

Leadership is often thought of in terms of grand titles and public achievements. But the most challenging leadership role might just be within the walls of our homes. Fathers, after all, are raising the next generation. Their choices have a ripple effect, impacting not just their families but society as a whole. Father's Day is here (June 16th, 2024). Let's consider a father from the scriptures who faced a unique challenge: Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus Christ. Imagine being engaged to marry someone you love, only to discover they're pregnant before your wedding. This was Joseph's reality. An honorable man, he initially planned to leave Mary quietly to avoid scandal. However, through divine guidance, he was called to stay and raise the child Mary was carrying. Joseph's situation was far from ordinary in those days. He would be raising a child not his own. This could lead to misunderstandings – his corrections might be seen as confrontations, and his role...

MUSING - WHAT HAPPENS AFTER WE DIE? (A PHYSICAL PERSPECTIVE)

      What happens after a person dies? It is a mystery because no one who ever died gave a vivid account of the after-death. People who claimed to have seen God and the devil when they “resurrected” were said to have been hallucinating and were never dead in the first place. Those who were believed to have actually died never came back to tell any stories – Mohammed, Buddha, Theresa, even Jesus. The question still lingers: what is death like?      The living man is made of three components – the body, the soul, and the spirit. The body is what everyone sees, the matter which exists on the earth and moves about. The soul and the spirit, however, cannot be seen or touched. They are expressed through the body. The soul is the intellect, the will, and the emotions of a person. The spirit is the element that sustains the person (let’s not get spiritual).      When a man dies, his spirit is separated from the body. His soul dies with ...
