The faith of an adult child

We enter the family of God with the faith of a little child, but that faith lacks the discernment and power of the faith of the adult child. When the thicket of problems becomes too difficult for our tools, when our resistance to the divine way or the earthly obstacles to our living the will of God mount up, then our faith moves from receptive mode to active mode--wholehearted adult faith. There's the power to overcome self-doubt. God does so much for us, but we alone must make the decisions that launch action. Let's go for it! In doing so, we gain the assurance that we need of the truth of faith. The soul knows.
