HAVING FAITH IN OTHERS

How can we serve those around us? By making our lives inspirational and interacting with tact and wisdom.

Even if there is not the chance for actual conversation, we can learn to take in each other’s presence in a positive way. This creates an atmosphere of love and regard, which makes it easy to share spiritual experiences. We should be so cheerful, and our lives such examples, that they say, ‘Here is an angel!’.

If there is a need to take responsibility for something then of course, you should. However, if a situation is not your business, or someone else is in charge, then do not get caught up in it. If you want to help, you can still involve yourself in a more subtle way – through faith.

Faith in others does a lot of work. It means to remain alert to what is going on, and then to fill another with the strength of your faith to such an extent that they feel able to do whatever needs to be done. This means having faith, but also donating the power of your faith. If the other person is honest and truthful, your faith will work for them. In this way we can learn to truly help each other.
