How often the Bible compels us to meditate on the meaning of faith! We
might say that the Scriptures rest upon faith and remain inspired at
every turn by the spirit of faith.
Faith
is an attitude of trust in the presence of God. Faith is openness to
what God will reveal, do, and invite. It should be obvious that in
dealing with the infinite, all-powerful person who is God, we are never
in control.
One
of the most fundamental statements of faith is this: your life is not
about you. You’re not in control. This is not your project; rather, you
are part of God’s great design. To believe this in your bones and to act
accordingly is to have faith. When we operate out of this transformed
vision, amazing things can happen, for we have surrendered to "a power
already at work in us
that can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine." Even a tiny bit
of faith makes an extraordinary difference.
Bishop Robert Barron
