Defined

Hidden among the crowd, buried in the open, lost among the found we discover the root of our being, that which gives purpose to our breath and inspiration to our action; faith. One word, one simple word with grandiose importance for it leads us in the direction of our home. Clothed with fortitude, we move about our days confident in our person; knowing that the Father’s love is all we truly need and that faith will keep on the course of love. In the absence of sight we still see for faith see with the heart.  In the absence of sound, we still hear because it is the soul which speaks of faith.  The projections of human reasoning are of no relevance to faith for faith is an intertwining of our being with that of the Father to the point where we understand without schooling. And so it is our faith which makes our journey possible for it is faith which knows the Father and carries us tie His arms. In the middle of our journey, when we have become work and tired, when we turn our heads and attempt to hide in the shadows, when we feel all is lost, all is gone; it is then when we need to look within and listen with our heart. Faith will speak, faith will bring hope to our hopeless moments; love to our loveless connections; inspiration to our apathetic thoughts; desire to our mundane routine; life to our lifeless breath for faith is the basis of our being, our connection with and to the Father.  Every breath we take, every move we make, every thought we think, the Father is already there, already present in the coming moment, already active in our now. Faith takes from us our doubts, our fears which humanity, directly and indirectly, places upon the existence of the Father as well as His inspiration to our action. Though humanity labels the tangible as reality, faith knows better. Faith knows that which humanity seems reality is nothing more than a moment interlaced with episodes of action stemming from redundant, erroneous thought. Confronted by the ego, faith steps not aside yet stands firm in its understand of truth and makes clear it convictions based upon the Father’s love and promises. Faith will stand aside for no threat, it will not be slighted by any trickery of the ego, nor will it thwarted by any recklessness of the mind. Having defined purpose, faith clearly sees the path leading to the Father, clearly understanding the Father’s reality as our truth, our reason for being. Faith is our security blanket wrapping us in love; it is our morning cup of coffee waking us from the slumber of humanity; it is the warm embrace from a loved one telling us everything will be okay; it is soothing music on a hectic, bumper to bumper commute in rush hour traffic; it is the moment of awareness defined in the silence of our soul.  Reconcile faith as that which drives decisions, that which assimilates action with holiness, that which brings the reality of the Father into the light of the moment for faith is the strength of our being; and we are so much stronger than we know. No matter the direction, no matter the distractions, faith defines our character. Have you been defined?
