Faith to me says that I am holding out on the hope that God will provide for me what I truly long for, in perfect ways that don’t draw me away from Him but only return me that much closer to His side. Faith speaks words from the core of who I am, words that say that the Father is the only one who could give me what I long for, and if I don’t get it from Him, I will never truly find it. Faith in this instance… at this moment… says that I fall upon God in the deepest of hopes, that what seems so true to me – that my life is a tragedy, that nothing truly has any purpose, that pain and suffering are the deepest themes of this life (the deepest that I could ever experience or hold onto), and that everyone will win and feel (experience) in all the areas that I have lost and felt nothing – is not the end of the story for me, but that He is doing something deeper and grander than I could ever hope for. What I see with my eyes and feel with my heart does not tell the full story, for life is bigger than that and a man does not see the whole picture in the first 30 years of his life.

Wow, I don't know how you do it Dave. You always seem to say the right thing at the right time! :)

People tell me that You're just a dream
But they don't know you the way that I do,
You're the one I live to pursue!"
