Faith. Something you have. Something you hear about. Something that when you possess it, you tend not to think about it. “Oh, I have faith! Hey there, faith, good day to you! Feeling especially strong today?” Not so much.
Faith tends to be the thing we cry out for, usually when we need it. When we’re feeling completely lost or alone. When we’ve been less than … good, honest, or brave.
We find that faith hidden deep within, usually when we’ve just about forgotten about it. Here’s the incredible thing, though — whether we’re thinking about it or not — faith is still there. And God hovers over it, protecting it, shining a light on it, pushing it forward to us like a parent pushes a life-giving meal, or a vitamin, or a moment of forgiveness.
