What is the measure of faith?

“And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you; he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:7-8)

 

Your faith is not measured by your certainty, nor is it measured by your feelings; it is only evident in the life of the one who is determined to ask. When you cry out, you are not begging nor are you convincing or commanding … you are obeying. You have not because you ask not. This means that my work upon the earth has an element where your intercession is needed; not because I need you, but simply because I have chosen to include you in this process of creating according to my will. To be a person of faith is to be a person willing to cry out day and night.
