“A faithful person sees life from the perspective of trust, not fear. Bedrock faith allows me to believe that, despite the chaos of the present moment, God does reign; that regardless of how worthless I may feel, I truly matter to a God of love; that no pain lasts forever and no evil triumphs in the end. Faith sees even the darkest deed of all history, the death of God's Son, as a necessary prelude to the brightest.” FeelsBelieveMayPersonsDoeEndsMatterMomentsPainLastsFaithEvilForeverSonPerspectiveChaosDeedsDespiteTriumphFaithfulPresent MomentReignWorthlessNo PainBedrockPrelude Book:Reaching for the Invisible God Study Guide Source: Reaching for the Invisible God Study Guide
