Faith is something many have lost somewhere on the way of trials.  We start with an optimism that if prolongated sometimes affect the way we think and feel.  When we look down the long road before us instead of what's right there in front of us, we tend to lose faith and hope.  We can't control circumstances in our lives but we can surely control how we react to them.  To believe in something we can't see is faith.  To understand that there are things way beyond our understanding is being wise. 

It is in our letting go that faith takes a different dimension and it flourishes.  Not only that, our yielding makes way to many blessings in our lives.  Trials are blessings in disguise.  Where else can the power of God rest if is not in our weakness?  Our cups must be empty in order for Him to fill them with His grace.  The more we hold on to the things of this world the less we can get from the creator.
