GOD USES SMALL THINGS! Faith as reflection (a blogpost for a sermon to be preached at Kenwood Church in Livonia, MI, on Feb. 14, 2016)

Does faith have a substance?  Is faith a "real" thing?

I think faith is like a reflection.  While our reflections are real enough, they only exist as an image of what is reflected.  Reflections do not exist unto themselves.  Without a subject, there is no reflection.

Could faith be a reflection of God?  Could faith be more about Him and less about what I know, understand, fathom, intuit, ascertain, grasp, etc?  Could He be the subject, and my faith is just a reflection?  Isn't there a subject of a reflection even if no one looks in the mirror?  Isn't there a God even if no one has faith?  Isn't our faith merely a reflection of the God who is there in the mirror?

Hmmmmm?
