Faith: Not Just our Way to Believe in God

but a Driving Force of Every Human

Achievement.
Faith is the essence of things hoped for. It is a
persistent embrace of our highest aspirations
and yearnings, a humble trust that they can be
or can become reality.
Faith makes us tenacious. It gives us the
strength to carry forward with the expectation
that our efforts will bear fruit. It is the distant
light that shines when all around us seems
dark and full of sorrow. Through faith, we
keep our eye on our destination rather than on
the hardships along the road. Faith give
substance to our dreams and our deepest
hunches about what is Real and what is Good.
Faith is the very sum and substance of life.
Without faith, human beings cannot achieve
anything. If we observe all the greatest
Endeavours carried out in this world, we find
that behind them faith was the sole-driving
force, without which everything is impossible.
A person can set a goal for himself, only if he
has faith that ultimately he will achieve the
goal. Thus, faith forms the foundation of every
new achievement, every new invention and
every new discovery and every new victory.
There is a co-relation between faith and
achievement.
Faith is the foundation stone of any project
that is undertaken with a will to complete. It is
the driving force which enlightens the candle
of hope by giving strength to fight against all
odds. A person having faith may face failures
in his or her life, but he does not lose his heart
in despair. He knows that the obstacles that
are coming in his way are only temporary and

he will ultimately be successful in achieving

his goal.
Faith can be found in many facets of many
ways. It was only because of faith, that during
the freedom struggle, a whole lot of Filipino
fighters struggled till the last drop of their
blood that freed Philippines from the cahin of
Spanish colonialism. Faith prompted the great
Alexander to march along with his troops to
conquer the whole world. Such was his spirit
that he never lost faith in is abilities and lived
the life of a great warrior till his last breath.
Great discoveries and inventions in Science
and Technology have taken place only because
of the virtue called faith. It was faith that
motivated Edison to keep trying for thousand
times before he discovered lamp without
which further inventions and discoveries in
Science seemed impossible.
Faith in humanity and brotherhood
empowered
Mother
Teresa
and
her
innumerable followers to serve the ill, poor
and the underprivileged. It was only because
of her faith in welfare of humanity that she set
an example in the whole world.
Faith is the main thrust that made us human
different from everything else. We have the
will not just to survive but to thrive in
whatever settings we are put against. Because
with a beacon of feiry heart (faith) even in our
the darkest hours, God will always provide us
a ray of light (hope) to guide us find the path
out of the shade of evil and suffering.
