Genuine trust involves allowing another to matter and have an impact in our lives. For that reason, many who hate and do battle with God trust Him more deeply than those whose complacent faith permits an abstract and motionless stance before Him.

Good hearts are captured in a divine wrestling match; fearful, doubting hearts stay clear of the mat.
