HAVE FAITH

 

People are fortunate when born into a religious faith, and who with the passage of years find this faith increasingly strong and sustaining. To possess a confident faith is a tremendous blessing. Only faith can answer the most profound questions of life. Without faith, there is no reason for anything and nothing is in its proper place. Life is unintelligible without God.

Faith gives meaning to life. Faith also gives vision. A life without vision is like a night without stars. Faith is the greatest power in the world. That is what Jesus meant when he said, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed you could save this mulberry tree, be uprooted and planted in the sea and it would obey you.” This is a striking way of saying that with faith, what looks impossible becomes possible. It’s not the size of it but the quality of it that matters.
