Faith

 Some people say about Faith, “Just believe.”  It is not so easy.  You cannot go from nothing to faith without some struggle.  No struggle, then no faith.  Faith is not certainty.  Nor is is magic.  It is relationship and all relationships take some struggle, sooner or later. Children might have instant faith, but as they grow physically and psychologically, emotionally, they will have doubt and struggle.  Otherwise they believe in infantile magic or else a surety about faith that cannot be effectively shared with other adults.  They can only convince children.  This is why pious parents(s) often have drop out children.  My faith grew from struggle and with people who struggled.
