Faith

From "Complete Idiots Guide to Faith"

People choose faith not because it promises better days ahead but because it brings meaning to today and provides the foundation for a much bigger view of life than simply what's happening in my world during my lifetime. Faith encourages us to see things from an eternal perspective. It's not like Little Orphan Annie singing hopefully that "the sun'll come out tomorrow." Faith isn't about believing that "tomorrow is another day" or trying to find the silver lining in the clouds that come our way. Faith means knowing that even if the sun doesn't come out tomorrow, God loves us and is still watching over us. It's knowing that there's nothing in those clouds but thunderstorms, our lives are still in God's hands, and God is still in control. Faith is knowing that you are valued by God. Even when life doesn't make sense, he won't let you go.
