The strength of your faith is only evident through tests, trials and time. When tests and trials came did you weather the storm and stay your course.

True faith sees the end from the beginning and doesn't give up until the goal is reached
I believe unflinchingly in Something Higher, but even after spiritual experiences have confirmed this Knowledge, I do not know if I'm strong enough to die for it.

In the story of the upper room Thomas even doubts his eyes. And he asks the master to let him touch the wounds to be sure that it is real. He did not operate on blind faith. He did not let his sense of awe cloud his quest for truth. He was an empiricist skeptic. Hoorah for Thomas. And the master...

Why do most people see "Faith" as a point of weakness?Fear being, lack of faith and faith being lack of fear. To me, to have faith takes great courage.

What is your most spiritual experience with the Divine? Whether you believe in the gods or a god and a goddess or god...what was your most spiritual moment when you knew that you heard the voice of god or goddess or you felt them speak to you or around you?
