"Reason is in fact the path to faith, and faith takes over when reason can say no more."
We all struggle with the fact that we have loved ones who are lost. Whether it is a family member or a close friend, we have all been there. It can be extremely frustrating sometimes because we have forgotten what it is like to be lost. Lost people don’t know they are lost or else they would choose to be found. People that are lost are living their lives based on reason and what they know and are familiar with. Reason can only carry a person so far before it runs out of strength. Familiarity is a dangerous thing for lost people. No one enjoys leaving behind the familiar and the comfortable, especially for a faith that involves putting yourself last. This quote should provide some comfort simply because it points out that reason is the path to faith. Lost people who are happy with their faithless lifestyle desire nothing more than remain that way. However, there comes a point in every person’s life where reason runs out of strength and they are forced to choose faith or reject faith. The role that we play as people who love the lost is important. It is our job to exhibit faith throughout our lives, so that when they reach a point where they must choose to accept or reject faith, our example will help nudge them toward faith rather than away from it. Walk by faith so that the lost can see your path and choose to follow you to Jesus.
