Hope vs. Faith

How often have you hoped for something?
How often have you had faith for something?

I believe that hope is the action, mentally and physically of holding on.
Holding on in a way that is crushing, clinging, clutching and suffocating.
We wrap ourselves around the something and with all our might we hope that it will do what we want.
This is an act of fear.
Fear in its suffocating, holding, crushing nature is the opposite of love.

Love is the act of letting go.
Allowing something its freedom to do/be what it needs.
In giving it this freedom we offer true acceptance of what something is
True acceptance is true love and it is exemplified in faith.

Faith is the believing in something, and knowing somewhere within yourself that it will come to be the way we see it
We do not cling to it, crush it or suffocate it
Rather we allow it the time to go through all that it needs to go
Throughout this time we support it and offer ourselves in any way it needs
When it has decided and come to itself it will be there for us
and so our faith in it comes true.

The important thing which moves hope to faith is action
When there is evidence and outcome that things are happening
then we have faith.
When we nothing occurs and we are given nothing to see action
We hope.
