Every blue moon, we receive an "electric" shock that tries to rock our belief systems and our immense faith. This means we cannot take our strong faith for granted. We must also understand the concept of faith (and redefine it if we haven't already). We cannot take our faith for granted because, although it has made us what we are today, how grateful have we been? How proud have we been? How readily have we declared ourselves to be faithful? Here's the definition bit: Faith is something that can lead to experiences that reinforce it further. It cannot be rationalised all the time.

We have all experienced wonders, miracles and magical moments in our lives, but have been afraid to attribute them to our strong faith and complete surrender to God. Every blue moon, that's what the "electric" shock is for. To make us realise, so that we are proud to be faithful.

Let those who like to administer this shock do their job. YOU are not a bad, bad, child. You are the select, lucky few. And why would you want to be anyone else?
