“To see is to believe”; “Begin with the end in mind”; “All things are created twice”; “What you conceive you can achieve”. These are just some of the quotes we often hear to encourage us to create a plan for our goals. When you are young and full of dreams, it’s quite easy to do so.

But somehow, when you experience a lot of disappointments and rejections, you will conclude that no matter how hard you try, if it’s not meant for us, we will never achieve that very thing we’re hoping for. If we have not yet been cynical by that time, chances are, we have been a realistic type of person who would calculate risks first before taking any actions towards any endeavor.

There’s nothing wrong with that. Only that, our imaginative side slowly fades and eventually the dreamer in us cease to exist. Faith however works in the opposite. It believes in goodness and always hopes for the best. It remains steadfast amidst trials and difficulties because it stays loyal to a cause. It is committed to do what’s right no matter how hard things are.

It is one of the greatest gifts we received from the Lord. Without faith, there is no hope. And without hope, there is darkness. If there’s darkness, there’s chaos. Thank GOD that he gave us Faith, Hope and Love. With these gifts he gave us it’s easy to manifest good things into reality with the help of the Holy Spirit.
