"Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees, and looks to God alone; laughs at impossibilities, and cries it shall be done."
Charles Wesley
The fastest way to break a promise is to stop caring; and the surest way to keep it is to stay in the light of it. Abdu'l-Baha (a central figure in the Bahai Faith) stated "As ye have faith so shall your powers and blessings be." I used to confuse doubt as the polar of faith, the way many do with courage and fear. I don't want to share my inner dialogue here, but sometimes we do need to hold to the understanding (and even hope) that Faith will also guide our doubts and fears so that we may come into the light. To trust our instincts and the nature of love, rather than that of social pretense and niceties It requires everything of us so that we may feel all of it in its fullest. To empty ourselves of self and to be able to stand before all and state: BE. And, it will be.
