Oh...

"Oh..."
Oh...and what is Faith you ask beloved. Let me do the best I can with our Lords help from above.
It is when you awaken in the morning and there comes no sight. When your eyes are wide open, but they do not sense any Light. It is when you take the time to listen intently, but there comes not a single sound. It is when the voice, which softly speaks to you has gone silent. It is when all that can be felt is darkness and sorrow. It is when at every turn, as though anything was left, something else is taken away from you. It is when the musical melody has slowly stumbled into stillness and there is only emptiness left. It is when there comes no answer, when there comes no understanding, and there comes no helping hand to be held.
But even in all of this you know that things don't need to make sense and you know that you were never in control. You understand that there are times when there will be no understanding, no sight, no sound, yet none of it matters. This is because through it all you know that God is right there with you through every single step, whether known or not. Whether it is without the sights and sounds or without the music or movement...you know Gods Truth still stands strong. Even though there is only darkness you know the Light will reappear and even though there is emptiness you know the fullness of Christ will be given just when it is needed. You know that even though your entire world may fall flat on top of your head it is not the world that lasts. You have been given the knowledge that God is in complete control and you trust in Him. That is Faith my friends.
It is when you are the least important because God is the most important. It is when the pain is alright, if it be the will of God. It is when everyone else has walked away from you, yet your eyes stay fixed far above. It is when you come to realize that God has put you here for a part to play and it is not up to us to choose what that part may be. It is when the raindrops fall from heaven and you give thanks for the rainbow. It is all these things and more than just words, which can be seen, but it is something that is shown as we continue to walk through it all.
