Faith goes with full consciousness and drive. Everything that we do is accompanied with faith. When we wake up early in the morning, we think of our plans with faith during the day that we will accomplish them totally or partially. When we leave our place to reach our workplace, vis-à-vis, we think of our safety with faith, and, of course, the driver and the vehicle steer us safely. When we eat in the restaurant; get some time in bar and entertainment site; have mountaineering adventure; spend a day in the beach; ride a zip line, ferries wheel and boat; take a bus in and out of the city; play game/s and have a brisk walk or jogging with or without company; we do them accompanied with faith.
We believe that whatever we do faith matter always. Nothing is impossible when we have the strong faith in God and ourselves. Because our life is connected to faith that gives us an optimistic drive to realize our desires and purpose in life.
When a person denies the need of faith in his life, it is difficult to accept that failure to accomplish his works was lack of faith or nothing at all. A child keeps crying to her mother because she believes that what she asks would be granted (to her). A beggar who sits and waits outside the door of the rich man believes that he would be given little amount for the survival of his life. A fisherman who throws his net and waits for several hours for a catch believes that he could get a good catch for the day. A wife who waits for her husband to come home safely at night believes that her husband would make it. A shoemaker believes that everyday he will have client/s. a saleslady, who stands almost six to seven hours in the department store, believes that more customers will be buying the items that the store section displays. Our President Rodrigo Roa Duterte and all his cabinet members believe in achieving his goals of national peace, progress and prosperity for the entire Filipinos and the country during his leadership/administration period, especially in seriously stopping the terrifying dangerous drugs and dreadful corruption in the whole country, the heinous crimes and all forms of violence and terrorism, and the unjust labor treatment and women/children abuses in the society. His faith is so firm which makes him very persistent, persevering and optimistic leader of our nation.
Thus, the action that is driven by true faith will end up with desirable accomplishment/s. Nobody can question the effectiveness of true faith because by and through it, the desired thin will happen. As Jesus Christ said to the woman in dire need “your faith has saved you”… True faith matters everything.
