What Does It Really Mean To Have Faith?

Faith. It's a word you hear thrown around pretty much everyday, whether it be about faith in yourself, in God, or in your favorite sports team to win a game. It's one of those things that you can't really describe, you just have to know and feel it in you.
I think it's something that we all struggle with at some point, but somehow, we find a reason for why we have faith in what we believe. It could be anything really. For me, I have faith in God, not because I see Him personally, but instead I see him everywhere else. Through the eyes of my friends and family, through the sun shining down and the rain washing away, I can see Him.
Some people claim they don't have faith, but I think that everyone has faith in something. If you think about it, we all believe something we can't see. That could be a grade that you think you got on a test, or the feeling that your friend got to their destination safely after going on a trip. I think faith is something that no one should miss out on. It can really be the driving point in your life. It gives you something to hold on to when nothing else seems to go right. Your faith keeps you going. People have faith that a bad week will hopefully be followed by a good one.
So the next time you question if you have faith in anything at all, consider something in your everyday life that you believe in. That's your faith; use it to drive you.

Your opinion on this is very true. I am glad you are not like some people who say to have faith you have to have faith in god. Yes I believe in God and Jesus but I hate for religion to be pushed on me. Good blog!!
