Faith

This entry is all about faith, about believing in something good will happen, without any confirmation; being a little irrational about it all ... actually "blind" temporarily until affirmation arrives.

Faith is exactly like the picture above... seeing a little of the present but nothing beyond it; being positive that there is a rainbow awaiting amidst the green hills when the weather clears up in time to come.

"Faith is like radar that sees through the fog."  - Corrie Ten Boom -

Faith - sometimes the picture gradually changes into something a bit clearer however the blurry edges tug at one's heart strings into questioning oneself about life, decisions, future, and purpose.

"Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look there." - M. Antonius -

However mindboggling and incomprehensible the future may seem at this moment, one must always maintain a positive viewpoint. It is simply because external circumstances are beyond our control. One can, nonetheless, control one's inner world; thoughts and actions.

"Faith allows things to happen. It is the power that comes from a fearless heart. And when a fearless heart believes, miracles happen." - Anonymous -

Faith is taking the first step with confidence, especially when what lies ahead of you is an abstract panorama.

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." - Martin Luther King Jr. 

Is fear holding you back?  Fear has no power in dragging one down in the gulf of doubt when one has established deeply-rooted principles and values in life. How life is nurtured. How life grows. And, how future is secured.

"Faith is the root of who I am. It is from the root that I grow, both up and down, like a tree whose roots grow deeper into the soil, establishing a strong root system." - Paul Sposite -

This picture reminds me of a forest in a storybook, when spring checks in after a cold winter, colors blooming happily and pathways are slowly opening up through the trees.  With faith, in looking forward to enjoying the full artistry of nature.  

"Believe! Believe in the limitless supply of God's goodness. The universe is filled with more wonders than you can imagine." - Wilfred A. Peterson - 

"Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe." - Saint Augustine

No explanation necessary. Trust yourself in your journey. Believe in the foundation that has been ingrained in your life. Know that it will happen for you; that in the end, you will get to savor and revel in the beauty of life just like in a full bloomed flower garden. Patience is needed along the way. Positivity is significant.
