The Christian way is a life of faith. In order to hold on to the promises of God, you've got to believe them and live by them.

What kind of future is in God's plan? A good one to which you can look forward. That's why you can hope.

At this moment, God is watching your life and at some point in this trial, He will say enough. You don't need to falter.

Trust means you anchor your heart in the reality of God's awareness of your situation.

If He wasn't going to use that hard thing for your good, it wouldn't have happened. He had to sign off on every single thing that touches your life.

The marquee scrolling across our minds trying to reinterpret life reads: "God-Against-Us." This becomes the dominant lens through which our flesh interprets life. We no longer give our loving Father the benefit of the doubt. Instead, we view every event as conclusive proof that God is against us.

I experience transcendence when something infinite reminds me I am finite.
