The only way to get that hope is by letting go of our need to hide and letting God heal our hurt
The idea of control gives us the illusion that we can prevent, manage, and will our lives towards certain outcomes.
God wants us to evaluate ourselves by how deep and strong our faith is. He doesn’t evaluate our spiritual condition by looking at how we appear on the surface. The depth of our faith determines how much of a difference we can make in the lives of those around us.
