Faith according to Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Faith means seeing the manifestation of something which is not physical seen by the natural eyes.
We don’t see God physically but we believe in the reality of his existence and as such, we experience his manifestations physical without having to see him because we believe.
The power of faith in God cannot be overemphasized. With faith we move mountains, everything in the kingdom of God is delivered on the platform of faith.
That’s why the bible says it is impossible to please God without faith Hebrews 11:6.

This is because the child is confident in his/her parents that they will fight for him/her.
As soon the parents return, that’ll be the first thing before any other thing. There’s this peace in their hearts that their parents will definitely come back and beat that uncle or aunty even though their parents aren’t as powerful as the person, but they just know that their parents will fight for them.
