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.
