Faith, at its core, is deep-rooted in the expectation of good things to come. It goes beyond hope. While much of hope lives in the mind, faith is steeped in the heart and the spirit. It can’t be explained away by reason or logic, or be understood through a single dimension.

Life can be a challenge for all of us at times as the Lord will continually test us but, faith gives us knowledge, deep down inside, that things will get better and that the Lord will take care of us and not give us more than we can deal with. It’s taking the next step when you can’t see the entire staircase. For me it’s hard to see how life would have reason if we didn’t have faith.

Without faith, how could we move from one moment to the next without completely second-guessing every last thing that we did?

Faith, to all people regardless of their belief is just as important as the air we breathe. As the oxygen in the air nourishes the body, faith nourishes the spirit.
