Faith --- What It Really Means

Just go through this beautiful story which illustrate what faith can do....

The fields were parched from lack of rain, and the crops laid wilting from thirst. Days turned into years and still there was no inkling of water drops. The ministers of the local churches called for an hour of prayer in the town square on the following Sunday. They requested that everyone bring an object of faith for inspiration. At high noon on the appointed day, the town square was filled to the brim with anxious faces and hopeful hearts. The ministers were touched to see the variety of objects clutched in prayerful hands - holy books, crosses, rosaries etc.

When the hour ended, as if on magical command, a soft rain swept the crowd as they held their treasured objects high in gratitude and praise. From the middle of the crowd, one faith symbol seemed to overshadow all the others :

A small 9 year old child had brought an umbrella.

When we do something in life, have complete and I stress once again, have complete faith
that we will definitely succeed. We should never do anything half-mindedly. Faith - On which the Life stands.
