What is faith?
You don't have to tell me,
I'm pretty sure of the cliche that is going to be your answer
"Oh, it is believing in something that you cannot see..."
Well, I can't say its wrong, because it is correct...
but it is not the whole answer for me...
FAITH, is not just believing...
FAITH is more than that...
FAITH...is existence.
FAITH makes what does not exist, exist...
FAITH is making what cannot be seen, to be seen...
FAITH is feeling what is not felt...
FAITH is hearing the unheard...
FAITH is existence.
We say we have faith in God...
but other people cannot see God in us...
then that is not faith,
it is faith when others can see
what cannot be seen through us...
it is faith when we know that what we pray for...
comes to existence...
for if you have faith in God,
you also take faith in His will for us...
A pastor that trains missionary said something like this,
" Faith is not just going to church and do this and do that,
but when I try the impossible WITH JESUS, it is FAITH."
James 2:14-26
"Faith and Deeds"
I am sure you can access the Bible
ps. I feel bad because I do not remember the pastor's full name
Pastor Park is a Korean and is in the 1000 Missionary in Manado
training Indonesians to be missionaries. He is awesome.
Finally, a new and beautiful post, jethro solaiman, you fraud fiasco! :) I BELIEVE (call it banality) that Faith is indeed believing in things unseen. "Faith is not waiting for 100% assurance, not waiting for doubts gone but understanding the odds, shaking, trembling, and believing that God wants you in there. Because you know you can't, but God can!" and " Faith is belief plus unbelief, and acting on the belief part" are two definitions I like, plus the verse from the Bible, Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see. "

-this reminds me of my everyday prayer to let God use me in all ways i am capable of and let the people see Him in me for I am nothing without Him. :)
I guess great minds think alike, ha? :)
