on faith vs. reason

Came across a particular insight last night in prayer–It hit me like a ton of bricks, it was on the idea that faith for the sake of faith can strengthen your love for someone you know nothing about. Yet in happens in such a profound and unique way that it’s almost easy to overlook. Sure God can show himself every generation, prove himself and be done with it. But there is something profound in trusting in that which you cannot see. Yet not as a crutch, this kind of trust is the same that you apply when someone tells you something like “I need some cash for a ride across town, can you help me out?” One’s first reaction might be “He want’s to get a beer or cigarettes.” Think of the trust it takes to just give someone hard earned money in the trust that they might use it for a ride or actually for food. When one trains that trust eventually it comes innate and reactive, but not a thought.

I believe England exists, I believe there are people there, but I’ve never been there. I have faith in its existence. All the videos I’ve seen could be faked and images of a different place. But come on, lets get real. England exists

everything is so tightly interwoven, it’s almost disarming.
