The Message version puts it like this: "The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living.

How often have we, ...Andrew, what a beautiful post. How often have we, at one point or another, given in to the feelings rather than done what needed doing? You're right, we need to do what God's given us to do, and not let feelings railroad us in a different direction. I love what you said about how, when we carry out the duties God gives us, we find that door to the hope only He can give.<br /><br />I'm still praying for you. Often. Stay strong in Him, friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
