Faith is . . .

"When you get to the end of all the light you know, and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen; either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly."

(Edward Teller, an American Physicist)

. . . or could it also be, Dave wonders, that when by faith you step into the darkness of the unknown and you crash and burn or get crucified because of it, God can bring good from it in entirely unforeseen and incomprehensible ways, even through suffering.

I shared this quote and my comment with a friend, and his light-filled way of saying it was, "when we find ourselves in a storm, sometimes God calms the storm, sometimes he calms his child."
