Faith is a journey across time, space, and life; a continual lesson that challenges us to move from holding on to letting go, from the desperate air-clutch of free-falling to the peace and comfort of being held. It questions our assumptions and the validity of our fears. In a culture of consumption, acquisition, and storage, it dares us to experience the transformative grace of productivity, distribution, and restoration. It asks us to risk acting with God’s generosity in a world that refuses to believe that anyone cares about or knows us any more or better than we do ourselves. It is in these selfless moments and acts that we catch joy-filled glimpses of our true nature. Faith is the gift for which we are created, the purpose of our existence, the primal mystery for which our deepest memory longs.
