Last week I had a conversation with a friend about God. We were talking about life after death and how it was a struggle to believe in something that you haven't experienced. We talked about Ressurection, what happens when you die, and if there even is life after death. We talked for hours about how we feel guilty for questioning our faith and God. Faith is believing in what you can't see. We are taught to believe in things that we can see, but what about things that we can't?
Sunday, a few days after we had that conversation, I went to church and my pastor began the service by asking for the definition of Faith. He waited for a moment and then he proceeded to tell us that everyone one of us has a different interpretation of Faith. Faith is choosing to believe in what we cannot see. Trusting in the unknown.
I was shocked, tears filled my eyes and I cried. Tears flowed continuously down my face, and whilst I felt guilty, joy filled my heart. God heard me and sent me answers through my pastor. While I am certain the message wasn't only intended for me, I needed that message at that time.

No matter how bad things get you have to have Faith. No matter what is going on in your life, Faith is going to be your biggest help. Faith is the truest measure of our strength and will. The circumstances that we face in life are just collateral damage in circumstances that you face during your battle of keeping confidence in god.
