Faith.
What is faith?
Is it the beacon of hope in every human soul? Is it the eye opening freedom we all yearn for? Could it be the tranquil home of God where the humans are meant to dwell? Or is it all of these things?
For what can one person say about faith? That it brings us bliss? Love? Hope? Or can not thousands of people not squish it into one single word, phrase, or idea?
Is faith something we have to find alone, or something all humans can discover together? Do we have to discover it within ourselves or within others?
These are questions we all want answered and yet no one knows the answer but God. We can go to him and ask him for faith. We can pray for faith and we can journey to find it ourselves. Can one be full of faith, be pure and sinless? No one can be sinless or pure by any means. We all have evil in ourselves. But faith? It can change our lives in the smallest of ways.
Faith is something that will never be seen or tasted or smelled. One cannot see faith or taste it as we can food. One must feel faith in their heart. If one is unable to feel faith then it is not that they do not have it, it is that their minds still dwell on other things and they cannot feel it.
Is faith what humans strive to have? Is it in faith that humans find god? For some of us, it may be. But does this make us who we are, what we strive for? Or is it who we become after we acquire these things that makes us who we are?
Everyone has faith, it just takes a leap to find it in ourselves.

very nice. i agree with the earlier posts, with the need to capitalize God at the end since you did before, and maybe you should expound on the idea of faith a little more. I love all of the rhetoric questions sometimes answered, and sometimes left open minded for us to find out own answer.
"We can go to him and ask him for faith."
i would say God instead of "him" once so you don't have the words twice in the same sentence. Personal pet peeve x.x
and i might change around the a couple phrases, so instead of
"Can one be full of faith, be pure and sinless?....smallest of ways.", i would continue the rhetoric, and instead say something like..."do you have to be pure and sinless to have faith? no, everyone has evil in themselves. But faith can conquer all evil and change ourselves in the smallest [and or largest?] of ways"
but otherwise really good! i enjoyed it and am glad, [and somewhat sad. i was going to write something for faith and now im going to have to re think that :p], that there are people who believe enough themselves to try and convince others. If that was your idea, good job and if it was not, well kudos to you then. you would have gone above and beyond the intended ^^
Hi, I'm Rena.
-I don't know, maybe you should look for a better word? This one simply didn't sit too well with me. Also, regarding this same quote, the use of 'not' twice in a sentence is never too good in my book. Maybe you should...try rephrasing it.I would just like to start off and tell you that this was very good. It was just as interesting. It was short and it was to the point but I'd like to point out a few things.
Given that you continuously used these great, describing words, I found this one out of place.
-This simple phrase is sort of awkward in my mind. Try finding a new word to replace 'but'? Or maybe doing something else. I don't know. I just know that I re-read it a few times in my mind then out loud and it seems a little off.
Finally,
-You'd been capitalizing it until now. Or is He no longer so important towards the end of the narrative that you don't capitalize His name any longer?
Now, I'm done. Above all, this was very good. Keep it up.
-Rena.
Your idea is good but u hve just explored the concept offaith from just one aspect....try looking at a broader frame from next time onwards..
This is aweseome! I love findings things about faith and God on here. It reminds me that there are other people out there who still believe in these things.
That's really the only thing I saw.
I loved this! The only suggestions I have would be to maybe capitalize God and He when you use them in here. It's just a little bit more respectful, I think. But of course, it's up to you.
You ask a lot of good questions and give people a lot to think about. Good job.
