Thoughts on Faith

Faith is knowing, with no doubt, that something you have asked for will happen. What you have asked for is a fact, even though it may not yet have manifested. My favorite definition of faith can be found in the bible. Hebrews 11:1 says that “Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” (New American Bible) If you really think about what this means, and recognize the power and wonder behind these words, you might conclude that you have been selling yourself short for a long time. “The evidence of things not seen.” Other words for evidence are proof, confirmation, and support. What this tells us is that, if you pray for something, although you don’t see it, it already exists if you really believe. If you have this kind of unwavering faith, life just becomes a timing issue.

What are your thoughts on faith?
