I'm struggling with what faith actually is. I don't have feelings of certainty. I have questions. I have doubts. So is my faith fake?
The author's definition changes things. Faith is assurance of things hoped for - it's a kind of confidence even without evidence. It's not the same as certainty, and it's not blind. It's a particular quality of commitment even in the face of uncertainty.
I'm learning I can have doubt and faith at the same time. I can ask hard questions and still move in the direction I believe is true. That's actually the most honest faith I can have.
