Now, you may think that my logic is nonsensical, but let me explain what I mean in saying that “Love and Faith” are different from “Faith and Love,” yet are still the same.
Someone once told me that “to Love is a choice.” I didn’t understand that. I thought that Love was just a force that came into your life, unexpectedly and wildly. But I have come to realize that though Love is a force of nature that we may not truly understand at times, Love is a conscious force. Once we decide to love something/one, then we decide to love the good and put Faith in that thing or that one and work through the bad. Think about the team you’re rooting for this season, or the person you decided to make your partner. Just think about it and you’ll see my logic.
Now, having Faith in something or someone on the other hand, nourishes a person’s Love. Having Faith can also be a conscious decision. The only thing I can think of, where Faith is the first order is religion. Regardless of your religious faith, whether Catholic, Jew, Pagan, or none of the above, Faith can at times, develop into a deep Love. You develop an intimate relationship with your religion and it’s elements.
Regardless of the order of means, one thing holds true: the Devotion that develops from this equation. This is why “Love and Faith” and “Faith and Love” are different, but the same. Can you dig it?
