I think the message is that our Faith is down to us and we need to work at it - its not something Heavenly Father can force upon us.
My favourite scene in the Chronicles of Narnia is in the Last Battle with the Dwarves at the end, they cannot see they are in Heaven, all they can see is the dark stable they walked into, Aslan shakes his mane and a great feast appears in front of them but all they can see taste and smell is things they would find in a stable like hay, rotten turnips, water from a trough etc
No matter what Heavenly Father throws at us we need to be open to see it
