A leap of Faith

Faith is something we have or don't have. Like being 'a bit pregnant' it isn't possible to have a bit of faith.

Faith can grow stronger and be more concrete in the mind and it can be lost. Because we know it cannot be seen yet we speak of it as a thing, the word 'faith' is a nominalisation. An invisible thing spoken of as a something.

Some people seem to be born with faith, yet others mystically acquire it overnight.

We can say all these things about faith and they can all be true in certain context, but actually we all have faith in particular things. For example I believe you have faith that the world will keep spinning on it's axis and it will continue on it's orbit around the sun. Because we have faith in this we also have faith that the dawn will come after the night and that gravity will continue to keep us stuck to the planet and ensure we don't drift off to outer space.

If you are reading this you probably have faith that you will have light when you flick the switch.

Gravity and electricity are both invisible, yet we have faith that they will work consistently. Why is that? Perhaps it is because we vaguely understand the laws that govern their action and behavior? (I know some of you understand those laws in far greater detail than the average.)

When it comes to having spiritual faith it sometimes seems more difficult. Yet there are spiritual laws at work in just the same way gravitation and electrical laws operate and they have been equally well proven and taught for much longer than gravity or electric have even been imagined.

We see gravity and electricity at work every day, we also see spiritual laws at work every day but we don't know it or we don't notice it.

Today I invite you to evaluate how you observe your faith, when do you remember and surrender, when do you forget and struggle? As we keep ourselves firmly anchored in the faith of our universal good or unconditional love our lives get more and more spectacular because we are in the flow. As we forget and try to manage the universe we get tired and fall into struggle.

Step off the ledge of doubt and take the leap of faith to the next amazing adventure of your life.

Remember the ancient proverb: the person who waits for roast duck to fly into their mouth will be very thin.

In love
