Choices will continually be necessary and -- let us not forget -- possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.
One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.
Faith is not a feeling. Faith is willed obedience in action.
I have one desire now - to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.
Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.
Either we are adrift in chaos or we are individuals, created, loved, upheld and placed purposefully, exactly where we are. Can you believe that? Can you trust God for that?
