Maybe the reason faith is called faith is because seeing doesn't lead to belief, but belief transforms the way we see.

Quite honestly, there are days when I don't need a God who will deliver me from the pit, just a God who will get down in a pit with me.

Faith can be stirred within the walls of church buildings, but faith is formed and nourished in the waiting rooms of hospitals, helplessly witnessing a thirty-one-year-old sister suffer, holding kids affected by the AIDS epidemic, and being stretched outside of our own social makeup.
