" It's the colorful patchwork that makes a wonderful quilt. In the case of faith, it's the same. Our faith pattern is not always the same. In different emotional states, we experience different degrees of faith just like the different colors of the patches- some bright, some dull. But keep on doing the patchwork. Once done, you can see the journey of your faith and your inner world - you will be amazed."
