The Essence of Faith

What is the deepest and truest meaning of those strings of letters? I used to think that I was a believer, that I easily believe in people, especially of what they’ve said. But now, it came up to me that believing/trusting/having faith in people isn’t simply relying on the words they said. I’ve just realized that there is something bigger and deeper than all of that. Faith comes from within. I bet that we may find it easier to trust people from their verbal action. But what if you are faced with a bigger problem (at least I thought so)?, where the matter gamble your entire life? To be more specific, in choosing who’s the one you’re gonna end up with a.k.a. hubby or wife. No matter how much you love the person, if you can’t have faith in him/her, I say it would be so hard for you to continuing the relationship. It’s love versus reality. You are probably confused with statements mentioned above. But I’m pretty sure that some of you might have been in this situation, or may have heard about it somewhere. Let me put it this way. You really love someone(at least that is what your heart tells you), but for certain reasons you’re just losing faith in him/her, losing faith that you two would make a good combo. That it’s just gonna be hard for you to believe that his/her love to you would last forever. You’re just losing faith that he/she will treat you good now and then, that he/she would make you happy, and so on… I dunno whether or not it is losing faith? Paranoid? Or pessimistic? Well, whatever it is that you decide, I’m sure it’s based on your prior knowledge of such things. Well I believe everything happens for a reason. Maybe all of your disbelief toward a certain person was because of what he/she has done to you, which causing you can no longer live up your faith in him/her anymore. I just get it now that ‘faith costs a lot’. I realized we might hoping that there would be a second chance, which everybody deserved. But there is also the first time in everything we do, and we’d better do it good then! Just in case…:-)
