Hebrews 11:1
(1) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen
In its simplest form, faith is merely belief. As our understanding becomes more complex and operative, when we begin to put faith to work, it becomes "confidence," and finally, in its best form, when it becomes fully operational, it is "trust." This trust, this full measure of faith, is alive and works within our relationship with God.
This came to my inbox and thought that it explained perfectly why we MUST keep faith in GOD, in ourselves and our direction we choose to travel, whatever path we take....and remember that putting faith to work means "confidence" in our direction.
As often I am at a loss as to "What Next?" I find that reminding myself of the fact that the Lord is ALWAYS with me offers great comfort and inspiration to keep doing my best to get day to day. We must incorporate loving our neighbor, turning the other cheek (something those inflicted with a disorder no matter how big or small, no matter mental or physical or emotional know FAR too well), and having FAITH in all things can pull us through even the lowest of lows, the highest of mania, and the comfortably numb gray area between.
