Faith

I read this in a book by Paulo Coelho as I was cleaning up this morning, and starting to feel OK again…

 

“The Warrior of the Light does not always have faith.

There are moments when he believes in absolutely nothing. And he asks in his heart “Is this effort really worth it?”

 

But his heart remains silent. And the Warrior has to decide for himself.

 

He looks for an example and remembers that Jesus went through something similiar in order to inhabit fully the human condition.

 

“Take this cup away from me,” said Jesus. He too lost heart and courage, but he did not stop.

 

The Warrior of the Light continues despite his lack of faith. He goes forward, and in the end, faith returns.
