By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future. By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons, and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff. By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions about his bones. ~Hebrews 11:20-22 (NIV)

The verdict of the ages is that faith means courage. All men of faith have courage. They trust their God. We never apologize for God. Instead we let Him demonstrate, through us, what He can do. ~Alcoholics Anonymous, Page 68

Sightless.
Sight unseen.
Doing what we’re told
when it feels insane,
insanity itself.
Trusting what we can’t see,
going against every single instinct,
every cogent thought.
Clinging to faith when
there’s nothing else
to hold on to.
Faith means courage.
Courage comes only
when I let go and know
I’m not in charge,
that I don’t have to
have courage.

God, the gift of faith
cannot be imagined when I don’t have it.
Living without it
can’t be imagined otherwise.
