You
must have faith and experience in order to live life
fully. You must have faith that all of the things
you expect from life are possible for you. You must
have faith that no matter what life brings you, you will
be able to handle it. You must have faith that your
faith will eventually lead to good experiences.
Experience
teaches you that your faith is paying off. Once you
have had an experience, you know that you know. When
you know, you become more faithful. Once you have an
experience, it makes you want better or different
experiences. The difference between faith and
experience is this: One you must work on. The
other one works on you.
You
must work to keep your faith alive. When you are
working on faith, it may feel as if you are going against
the grain. There may be no evidence that what you
believe has any validity. Still, you must move
forward faithfully, until you have the experience that
will lead you to knowing. An experience leaves a
mark on your consciousness. An experience will guide
your thoughts and your actions. An experience can
open your heart to new horizons or close your heart in
fear. In the midst of an experience, you must have
faith that you will ultimately reap some benefit from what
you now know to be true.
It
is important to know what experiences to put your faith
in. If you have an unpleasant experience, have faith
that you will learn something new, useful or
productive.

When you have a pleasant or productive
experience, have faith that you can duplicate the
experience and make it better. Have faith that your
mind and heart will always be open to bigger, better
experiences than those you have already had.
Until
today, you may not have realized that your faith and your
experiences work hand in hand. Just for today, use
your faith to create better experiences. Use your
experiences to activate a deeper sense of faith.

Faith
is kept alive in us, and gathers
strength,
more from practice
than from speculations.
