In regards to the future, which may only be considered, though we often presume mistakenly what may or may not occur, because to us days gone are mere shadows of days ahead. And so we carry logic and reason to a place where only the science of faith can exist.

For instance, have you ever sat down and planned something ever so carefully, that it seemed as if there was no way it would not go accordingly, though when the time arises everything seems misfit. Indeed, our schemes, even those architected with firm knowledge eventually end up wavering as a leaf in the wind.

I am not condemning the usage of forethought, as there are some things that must be devised before being dealt. However, in terms of ethnological matters, that can neither be foreseen nor predicted, we must rely on something other than our own reasoning.

And so we have what I call the three promising words: hope, trust and believe, altogether they produce the fruits of faith. Wherefore, neither can exist without the other. For example, I can not have hope in something unless I believe in the existence of what I hope for, and I can not believe in that which I hope for unless I trust what I have seen by it, whether from my own eyes or a mere promise.

So how must we strengthen our faith? How can we find peace in the thought of the unknown? Such questions as these I have continually asked. Nevertheless, I have come to realize that the essence of faith is peace itself, whereas, faith, is the revivification of our peace of mind. It is an action that requires each promising word, whence sustained, all the fear and confusion is lulled.

To grow in faith does not mean you have to renounce your own intellect or invention, in fact the contrary. We tend to condense faith within a religious arena, however, faith extends beyond such -- you can have as much faith in your own self as you do in any unworldly sleight. Let us remember, to have faith is to endure the constant burden of the unknown. Anyone can do this.

Therefore, it is important that we continue to work and have confidence that what we endeavor to achieve will not be in vain -- if done boldly, whereby the assessment of quality and closeness to perfection is easily outmatched somehow by the prowess of this moving force, enlivened, by the science of faith.
