I’ve wondered for years why we NEED faith. The quick answer, of course, is that as mortals we don’t see our Father and His Son face to face and so we need faith that they even exist. Without faith in them we limit their access and their influence in our lives limiting our joy and direction. I know I’ve done it both ways without faith my existence had been flat.

But we are to be like God and His Son as much as we can. This implies to me that my maker has a superb case of faith Himself. Why does God need faith? I think I’ve found one facet of the answer.

Faith is the same thing as love and joy, intuition and creativity. Faith is when Father exhales love, when He sends out help. He inhales joy as he sees the results of His labors. When God creates He’s intuitive and definitely creative giving Adam and Eve and us variety and beauty as in the Moose spit I talked about in my blog on September 2014 . The more we learn through the sciences the more we see the intricate weave of love and faith we’re a part of. The more faith we have the more eternal truths, direction, and beauty saturate our creations like Handel’s Messiah, the Narnia series by C. S. Lewis and The Hobbit by his friend  J. R. R. Tolkien.  nancymauerman.com
