Faith.
Faith is remembering.
'Here I raise mine ebenezer.'
Remembering happens in memory.
Memory is made of story.
Story is narrative.
Faith has many names:
lore
legend
kings of old
history
in the beginning
and...
...yesterday.
Faith is an understanding of what yesterday and all the days before mean for today and all the days after.
Faith accepts an unseen order in randomness.
Faith is the audacity to trust in the face of betrayal.
Why?
Why?
Because there's something you can't kill, something in me you can't kill.
It's some kind of light.
It's a beauty.
It has a quality of infinite.
It's creating.
Even with your treason and wickedness you can't kill this thing.
And I will leverage my life against this belief: that thing, that thing you can't kill, has a Maker.
Faith is living in this truth: that thing has always been. It will always be. It exists in the face of Evil.
It has a Name. And a Story.
Faith is knowing the glory of God, manifest in His narrative of One Death. One Resurrection. One Ascension. For all.
Faith is remembering this story as the epicenter of all stories.
