Faith - Fé
Originally uploaded by Cre8vity.
Back in the days where I was a very active Early Teen Missionary, I did a speech on faith. Faith is something I really need right now. I need to have faith that God really loves me and wouldn’t hurt me without an absolutely good reason. (I wonder, however, if that reason would be clear to me when I it happens)
Basically the whole thing can be summed up to three points:
1. Faith is something we practice everyday. We have faith that the ground below us will keep us upright. We have faith that the sun will keep on shining on the farmer’s crops. We have faith that the world turns consistently that we don’t go falling up to space.
2. Faith is trust. If I didn’t trust the world, the sun or the ground, I wouldn’t put any faith in it. I jump off a burning ledge to the arms of my father because I trust that he’d catch me.
3. Faith is an action. It’s not just the trust that my father would catch me from my fall but the jump to his arms itself.
Okay faith applied to my situation would be:
Faith is practicing to know that God loves me everyday. It is trusting him with my life and actively giving him my life.
Is it me or is that one very scary thing?

>> The surgery that Vincent undergoes to increase his height in the movie Gattaca. It's named after the Russian doctor who invented it 40 years ago to treat dwarfism. This painful operation adds length by allowing new bone to grow in the gap left by gradually seperating ends of the broken bone. The patient's shinbones are cut in two, a brace is applied and metal pins would pull apart the bones a millimetre each day. Risks include feet permanently turned at odd angles, twisted legs, and weakened bones that break again and again.
