on faith

Faith is a very thick thick rope.
A rope which in the beginning of it all was perfect and strong and true.
As time melts aways with each passing day, the rope frays bit by bit.
There are some who won't give in to the wear and tear of this treasure and the restoration of this rope becomes a lifelong mission.
There are some who may give up and let the strands unravel to nothingness ...and there is nothing left to hold on to.

Faith in God diminishes fear, extinguishes chaos, and keeps us humble.

Faith in people reveals (perhaps, sometimes after a protracted period) that within every human being dwells innate goodness .

Faith in yourself brings about the realisation of some (if not all) of your dreams and aspirations.
Faith in yourself opens avenues in life that were once deemed interminably inaccessible.

Faith in the impossible will break them down to the possible.

Faith in love preserves our humanity.

Faith in hope allows us to dream.

Faith in faith sustains the faith.

Verbalizing the above is easy....it isn't stuff people haven't heard before....
Actually keeping the faith.....now therein lies the ultimate challenge... one that we will be faced with for the rest of our earthly existences....

Faith is a very thick thick rope.
'Tis a rope on which everything in life depends on.
