From Hope to Faith

Many people come to me to find faith.  Some never had it.  Some had it and lost it. 

“How do I have faith that there is a higher power?”  “That God or whatever cares about me?” 

In order to have faith you must start with hope.  Hope that life, your life can be different. That what you want can be yours.  That what you desire can be yours not in a year or ten years, but by this time tomorrow.  Hope that life will work out for you in the best way.

Faith is the expectation that you will be assited.  That your hope will be realized. 

If you can not get yourself to believe in a higher self, angels, God than hope that you will and hope again and again and again.  Hope when you have evidence to the contrary. Consistent hope quickly becomes faith.

So , how do you get faith when you dont have it by being a consistent person who hopes.  Yup, the discipline of hoping will generate into rock hard faith.  Do I want to get your hopes up.  You bet!  (Inspired by Joel Olstein)
