Intellectualized

There are those whose faith is deep and that sure. Some have hopeful but wavering faith. Some have a kind of intellectual belief, which faith less springs from the heart than hangs upon mind. Like Pascal's wager. For the last, it is an exercise to pray and believe without seeing.

I've always found much inspiration in the plea that distressed father said to Jesus: "Lord, I believe -- help me in my unbelief."
