Faith in small things

John Cook • March 12, 2019

Faith is in every matter of life. The big events, and the small ones. 


In the grand tapestry of life, faith weaves its presence not only through the monumental events but also in the delicate threads of the everyday, the seemingly insignificant moments that collectively shape our existence. As I perused old photographs, a poignant image emerged—one capturing a version of myself from a time before I rediscovered my faith.

In those snapshots, I saw a person navigating the complexities of life without the anchor of faith. The journey, though seemingly ordinary, was marked by a subtle absence—a void that only faith could fill. It's in the mundane moments, the small victories, and the quiet contemplations that our faith is tested and, ultimately, strengthened.

My blog post delves into the intricacies of faith in the small things. From the sunrise that whispers promises of new beginnings to the shared laughter with loved ones, each moment holds the potential for a deeper connection with the divine. Rediscovering faith wasn't a sudden revelation but a gradual realization that it's not confined to the grand gestures but resides in the details of our daily lives.

Join me on this introspective journey as we explore the profound impact of faith in the ordinary. Through personal reflections, anecdotes, and the beauty found in simplicity, we'll uncover the transformative power of acknowledging faith in every matter of life.

Let's embark on this journey together—where faith isn't a destination but a continuous discovery in the small, beautiful, and often overlooked moments that shape the essence of who we are
