When I was young I found it difficult to understand what people meant by the word 'faith'. To me, it seemed that I was to accept what someone told me as gospel and to not question it.

However, I'm not one to not question things. So my journey took me in the direction of factual documentation and understanding. I sought proof!

While I, for example, sought to prove the existence of God, I was somewhat disappointed with my failure, but accepting of my faith when God proved His existence TO ME.

Now 'faith' is easy, because it is rooted in the evidence God has provided me. God exists. Life after death exists. And, so now I have placed my faith in Him and His choices for my life.

Which leads me to another question.

With faith in God, and no longer the fearing of death, how is it that I can fear so much else that I must deal with of this world? Hardly seems worth worrying about, doesn't it? But, then again, maybe that's what makes us human.
