How Faith works for me
Having Faith In Faith by Lobber
Faith Flash contest entry

Three simple phrases–leap of faith, blind faith, and good faith–serve as keystones. . . each reflecting unique aspects of my journey of Faith and love for God.

The phrase "leap of faith" resonates deeply, reminding me of Søren Kierkegaard's philosophy, where "to leap" is to trust in God’s plan, even when the path ahead is unclear. This concept challenges me to act courageously in moments of uncertainty, relying on belief.
 

The 1992 film Leap of Faith also brings this idea to life. Jonas Nightingale, though initially a con man, experiences redemption through genuine faith, influenced by a good woman’s example. His transformation reminds me that even flawed individuals can find their way to God. The 2012 Broadway musical adaptation amplifies this message, showing how a single act of faith can ripple outward, inspiring others. Like Jonas, I’ve learned that taking a leap often leads to unexpected blessings, and each act of trust strengthens my bond with God.

Blind faith often gets misunderstood.  For me, it’s about trusting in God’s love and wisdom, surrendering to divine guidance, and allowing me to act with confidence and peace. Every time I trust blindly, I feel God’s presence more intimately, which deepens my devotion to Him. 

Finally, good faith anchors my interactions with others. Acting in good faith means approaching relationships with honesty, integrity, and love. It’s about reflecting God’s character in my daily life. Whether I’m resolving conflicts, keeping promises, or being kind, good faith becomes a way to honor God and share His love with those around me. 

Together, these three phrases transform my life. Faith triggers my actions, and in doing so, it constantly deepens my love for God. Through every leap, every blind step, and every good act, I find myself more aligned with His will and His boundless grace.
