Faith Isn't A Feeling

What?!?!? Yes, I really said that!  I mean it can be a feeling; but it usually isn't at first.  Faith is a decision. Its a decision to act "as if" something is so even when you don't feel it or even believe it deeply.

A friend of mine and I were having this conversation just the other day.  I told her that something she had just done was an act of faith. "Funny," she said. "I really don't feel I have that much faith right now."  That's when the words "faith isn't a feeling" just sprang into my head. (As a spiritual intuitive, this happens to me quite often and I simply love it.)  I continued by telling her she didn't need to feel it, yet.  Just keep acting as if she did.  Feeling faith comes with patience, practice and intention.

The universe, Spirit, God, whatever you choose to call it, responds to our intentions! Merriam-Webster defines intention as: "the thing that you plan to do or achieve, an aim or purpose, a determination to act in a certain way."  So to me, intention is an act of faith!

Want to have faith?  Act "as if" you already have it!  Watch the miracles happen!
