What is faith; where does it come from?

"I think Faith is a gift from God and He gave it to us so we can understand His love and mercy."- Kaelen

I bought a book on questions to ask your kids and randomly selected the above question. Kae was playing one of his mentally challenging games when I popped that question as casually as possible. His answer caused my jaw to drop - in a good way.

How many adults make faith such a difficult thing to grasp and understand? Mention faith and some discuss grace vs works, faith is dead without works, argue about who is right and wrong, etc etc... 150 comments and replies on a blog later and there is still bitterness, contention and division,

Ask a child and he pares it down to the simple truth - it is a gift; it helps us see God's love and mercy better. Bingo.

Maybe kids make better evangelisers with their innocent, simple yet profound answers - only the Holy Spirit can reveal such things to them. Amen?
