Faith and
Experience
 

“Jesus said to Thomas, ‘because you have seen Me, you have believed: blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have believed’ ” (John 20:29).

“I have seen, I have heard, I have felt ” (Swedenborg in Heavenly Secrets 68 ).

Through our sight, other senses and with our faith, we experience good things and not-so-good things. Sometimes our experiences are big and dramatic, even life changing. They can be euphoric or distressing, thrilling or chilling. Mostly they are the daily ups and downs and in betweens of life. How can our experiences help strengthen our faith? How can faith give experience meaning?
