I am sure there are more than fifty shades of faith. As for me, I have always seen two kinds. It seems there are those who just have it, like an artistic gift. Just who naturally had a beautiful voice or the ability to draw or paint whatever they see, some people seem to have faith naturally. They all can polish and hone their skills and perfect their abilities but nothing is going to take it away from them. They will always have it.
For others, like myself, faith is like a plant. It has to been nurtured, fed, watered and given light. It requires constant attention. If left alone, it won’t grow, produce or even survive. It will simply dry up, wither away and die.
I don't think that one kind is better than the other; one is just more difficult than the other. I’ve always longed for the “gift” but I just didn’t get it. I can, however, like a struggling musician, practice. I can practice over and over again for years and years and in the end, hope that what I can produce and create can be just as good as someone who just “has it” naturally. Not everything in life is easy. Maybe it’s those things that we have to work the hardest for are what, in the end, we will cherish and appreciate the most.
