Summary

This quote suggests that having faith to believe in something is different from having faith to actually receive it. Believing in something implies a mental acceptance or trust, while having faith to receive goes a step further and involves an expectation or openness to receiving the desired outcome. In other words, it implies actively aligning oneself with the belief and taking the necessary actions to make it come to fruition. Merely believing in something may not lead to the desired outcome if one does not have the faith to actively pursue and receive it.
