What is the value of faith?

[cosmiclady]

For me the value of faith lies in the present. A search of the llresearch website gives this chapter: http://www.llresearch.org/library/a_wand...ook_12.pdf. The author, our dear Carla, goes on to say,
"Perhaps my favorite quote from our Confederation archives on faith is this from those of Hatonn:
'One who lives in faith stands with a light that is bright that others may
see. It is a kind of public undressing of the self, metaphysically speaking,
to live a life in faith, for when one who is faithful perceives that, in the
midst of the confusion of mundane living, there is a spiritual principle
which must needs be upheld in order to be faithful, one must then
abandon so-called human wisdom and express foolishly faith that
appearances are deceiving, and that all is truly well. The essence of faith
is the simple feeling that all will be well, and all is well.'3"
Faith means that I can accept the mayhem and sadness going on as well as the joy.
