I can't create that either, only recieve it and pass it on.

Man did you hit it right.
I can relate it to a Chinese Finger Trap. If either side tries too hard, it just creates friction and problems. If both sides are to relax and move at the same rate, smoothness occurs and the fingers are freed.
Our Faith works the same way. If you try too hard to have Faith, you end up either becoming a Radical Zealot or simply misinformed and mislead easily by False Prophets.
If one is to try too little, you sacrifice your Spiritual Body's Health and you end up becoming completely anti-spiritual. Or, if one simply waits and waits for God to send them a sign thats suited to their liking, they most likely never recieve one.
So the ideal situation is to have Faith that God has Faith in you as well. It's a completely 2 way street and thats probably the most valuable thing I've learned on this Path. The more receptive we are to the Light the easier it is for the Light to come into us. Our doubt always remains because that's just a neccesity of the Human Experience. In actuality, its a complete illusion...Knowing is the only True state of Existance.
We can only shine was bright as much as we let the light come in.
