You have no faith

People lie, it’s a fact of life and there isn’t really anything I can do to stop it. Shoot even I, as much as I hate it, lie sometimes. The issues came after being lied to time after time again. It became easier to stop believing everything I heard, and unfulfilled promises developed into an “I’ll believe it when I see it” attitude.

It became my way of life to have a little bit of doubt in everything. No harm was done and nothing lost, this was a foolproof defense mechanism. Was it really foolproof if at the end of it all I end up the fool? I found myself to be the fool when I tried to live a life of faith. I’ve learned that faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains but this never seemed to apply to my life. I have faith much, greater than a mustard seed but faith still never seemed to be enough. I felt that with the amount of faith I had I should be able to shake the world… Why isn’t the world shaking though?

Unbeknownst to me, the only way faith works is in the absence of doubt. The doubt the size of the mustard seed that followed me like a shadow negates the plethora of faith that I believed to possess. It turned out that I didn’t have any faith at all. I now have to restructure my whole mentality and way of thinking to believe even without seeing, trusting even without knowing, and hoping even when in a place of discouragement.

Without faith, this journey to contentment will be in vain since it is faith that makes things possible.
