Faith - any comments?

Faith = synonym for ignorance.

When we don't have the answer, we say: I don't know. Only the arrogant do otherwise.

by definition, faith is trust. This means it is not presumption. faith is not something you put in ideas, it is something you put in that which is more substantial; like God's love. one cannot accept ideas and doctrines by faith, for ideas are not of the realm of faith. Love is.

Neither is faith an "answer" to a "problem." It is not something that fills a void of uncertainty. That would be pollyanna. Faith is commonly confused with pollyanna and presumption, then spiritualized by a religious school of thought. Faith has nothing to do with traveling without a road map or flicking on a light switch. Faith is about the trust you have in your depths in something greater than yourself; your Source, Higher Power, or God. What you call it doesn't matter, for that is an idea. What matters is your connection and how it serves you in being a more loving person.

it relatively is so very uncooked and real. i like the final 2 strains. This poem is so plenty greater actual than something I even have study in awhile. it somewhat is approximately looking 'faith' and not purely phrases or innovations, a actual answer, that could or won't additionally be there. Too many sheltered human beings take a seat in the back of sheltered partitions and picture they understand what actual existence is approximately. For this lady and maximum of others actual existence is tangible, actual and uncooked. that's no longer approximately fairth innovations phrases and desire. faith isn't faith till that's all we've left perchance. existence isn't approximately what's on the outdoors, it is going plenty deeper, into the exterior and into the pores into the blood and out and in with each breath. Like an onion we are made up of layer upon layer of self. And real residing incorporates admiting and attending to the element the place you arent caught up in pretentiousness, yet are open honest and uncooked. awareness and enhance comes from such perception. Bravo to the author for shooting such uncooked and actual spirit, this could be the terrific poem I even have study in lots of many months. I ought to upload this: this lady's fears are very actual, many anybody is terrified of entering a church terrified of condemnation, judgement. Hmmm isn't religon approximately accepting devoid of judging.... some thing might have long previous amiss....

Finally. A religious person that thinks clearly.

Star. While I am not religious, I do have faith that man will find what they are looking for. Answers. Whether they be expected or not.

A great song that explains faith quite well, even if it is not about faith.

All I do know is that complete faith blinds. Yu must always have an eye open. If you understand this?

How many times have you heard successful people say that one of the most important lessons they learned on their journey to success was having faith in themselves?

Now for many this is not only a tall order it's what blocks them from ever succeeding.

What does it mean to have faith in one’s self?

Well basically it means the ability to recognize the value of what it is that you came here to contribute to this planet.

Now many might say that they don't even know what it is that they came here to contribute. If that is you, you are allowing yourself to fall into a state of self doubt that is undermining your connection to your inner wisdom and therefore the awareness of that purpose. You see everyone has a purpose in being here and you simply need to reconnect to it. More on that in another article.

Suppose that you do know what you came here to contribute but are struggling with the value of that contribution here is what you can do.

See yourself making that contribution in some way and then notice what you feel inside yourself and where you feel it.

If you feel any of the following there:

A feeling of lightness, joy, contentment, sense of peace, relief, expansive, open, clear, buoyant, present, energized, radiant, uplifted, inspiration etc.

Then ask yourself whether you like that feeling.

If you do then simply admit that to yourself.

Then notice how you feel.

You should feel even more anchored in the positive experience you were having before.

Let me explain what has just happened.

In this exercise you have reconnected to your inner wisdom and allowed it to verify for you the importance and value of your contribution here.

The value was communicated to you in the feelings you had when you went through the exercise itself. It is in that feeling that lays the desire and inspiration to propel you forward in achieving your goals and your dreams.

Now that you feel it remembers it and revisit it often. It will sustain you. In fact it is the source of all your passion for contribution and for life itself.

Allowing yourself to do this is what I mean by having faith in yourself.

Love & Blessings

Faith vs Fear. Both are feelings about the future, one is trusting, the other distrusting. Faith = trust.

All you need is faith in God and when you truly do that you give the route you want in your live to God and God gives you his will for the sake of his mercy and love he can shine his light through you to others.

Faith is a journey and life is your test.

Give your will to God Because God is everything good.

There is a difference between faith and blind faith.

Religious faith is believing in nonsensical concepts that have no evidence to support them.

Do you have faith in yourself? Can you trust yourself? And do you have faith in that trust?

Belief in one God, without associating any partners with Him.
