About This Quote
Faith does not grow in a house of certainty. If you live in a house of certainty, you are not going to have much faith. We all know that the best place to have faith is in God because he is the Creator of everything. People would have faith in God because he created everything.
He knows everything there is to know and therefore he has all the answers. Because of this, people can have faith in other things as well. For example, people can have faith that there is always enough food on the table because that is what God created for us to eat.
People can also have faith that there are other people out there who are willing to help them even when they don’t realize it themselves. The point here is that having faith means not living only in a house of certainty, but also living life with an open heart and mind.
