Summary

This quote suggests that faith is not something that can be completely lost or taken away from us. Instead, it asserts that when we stop incorporating faith into our decision-making and guiding principles, we effectively stop allowing it to influence or shape our lives. In other words, faith is always present and accessible to us, but it is up to us to choose whether or not to make it an active force in our lives.
