We need hope. There's nothing worse than to live a life of despair. For a person to have no hope just sucks the blue out of every sky.

Live in such a way that the world will be glad you did.

I think to trust in the sovereignty of God does not excuse my personal responsibility. Just the opposite - it equips me to be personally responsible.

God is near whether you sense His presence or not.
