Where is that faith?

Power Of Faith, originally uploaded by anselmo B. malugao.

I have just finished the above painting. Looking at it, I was suddenly reminded of the nature of faith. Philippines being a christian country, it is a common occurrence to hear the citing of the famous bible verse about faith and the mustard seed.

The reason why a genuine faith as tiny as that of a mustard seed is nearly impossible to acquire, it's mainly because the mind is actively reasoning. Put out the reasoning power of the mind, it is only then that you can believe what you want to believe without objection from your mind -- and that is faith. Think about it.
