We all have "faith".
FAITH, I believe, is something we all have, but to varying degrees. Do you have the faith to believe that there can be an all-powerful creator, or do you put your faith in science? Or do you believe in a combination of several things and/or ideas?
Do you have the faith to believe in yourself? Do you have the faith to believe in your significant other, a family member or a friend?
I believe we all do. The question is "how much faith do we allow to become reality in our life?"
Consider this.
Faith stagnates unless you expose yourself.
Faith is not a noun, it's a verb. Action is a critical part of faith.
Faith is in action when you make yourself vulnerable--practicing what you believe.
Faith is similar to a guidance system that NASA uses regularly.
When the space shuttle is on the launch pad, the guidance system is not activated because it's not needed. BUT, when it breaks free from the launch pad, then the guidance system kicks in. Everyone involved has to believe the guidance system will successfully guide the shuttle to the end of the mission. They have faith in the guidance system.
We have to rely on faith when all else tells us we're crazy...when there's no evidence what-so-ever...and when everything points to something else.
When you practice faith, you can count on others thinking you're out of you mind. Many times you will be ridiculed for your faith (in religion, science, others, etc.).
An Understanding.
Simply put, the definition of faith--the meaning of faith is nothing more than an understanding, a belief, a thought about something, someone, some situation that cannot be proven.
Inherently, faith allows for no tangible evidence to be made available--that you know of--which would back up or support your claim, idea, theory or thought. It is simply an overwhelming understanding that, to you, is convincing.
