Faith:

2 Corinthians 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

When you love somebody, you don't see it, you feel it.
When you take a breathe of air, you don't see it, you feel it. (Unless it's cold! But this is just generalized)

The two necessities of life, don't generally come at the expense of visually seeing it. Sure you can call hard times watching that injured bone recovering when you just want to be playing a sport. Or sure you could call hard times seeing a paper that is showing you in debt (just to par-say, school loans), but we generally develop these 'hardships' emotionally. Sure the visual can be a spike in the process, but feelings come from the heart.

Let us remember that everything basically starts to lose it's value in this life. Sure, we classify an antique car toy model that retains its value for times to come, but as almost insincere as it sounds, it's just a toy car model. Things age, things decay.

So focus on the feelings. We have become a world full of 'give me proof'. We like to live life, very concrete. Well if God was concrete, then what would be the use of faith? Some of the finer things in life, like God, People, Love, etc are not really concrete. It's the ability to look through everything and see it from your heart.

So take time to realize that really, the unseen, hard to grasp things in life, are truly what's worth fighting for because it's something that will last forever. Nobody ever said that the best things in life, were the easiest things in life.


Life is not a continuum of pleasant choices, but of inevitable problems that call for strength, determination, and hard work. -Indian Proverb.

Keep truckin' everybody and good luck to all fellow students in college! 1-2 weeks left for everybody, then let's have a great summer.
