Faith

Hebrews 11:1
"Now faith is being sure what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

Faith is like an eye. An eye doesn't look at itself. Like wise, you're not supposed to be focused on your faith. True faith is unconscious of itself.

Cf. Syrophonecian woman; Roman Centurion

->Your faith is like a window. Don't focus on your faith.Focus instead on the light on the outside.
The window does not create the light. The light is always shining outside. The light shines thru the window. The amount of light that is allowed to flow in through he window depends on the size of the window. The size of the window is like the size of your faith. The greater your faith, the bigger the size of the window, and more light can shine through.

Faith comes by listening to the preacher/listening to the Good News - see Romans 10:17 :
"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ"

"Whenever anyone look at Me and sees my Grace, I look at them and see their Faith"
