"Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you..." - Saint Augustine

🕯️ Faith

“Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.”

— Saint Augustine

Augustine nails something so simple here — believing comes first, and then the seeing follows. It's like taking a step in the dark and finding the ground is right there waiting for you.
