For if our faith is only built around blessings, the blessings may disappear, and so may our faith.

Faith and fear are two opposing states we often find ourselves in. But true faith is not the absence of fear, but the presence of certitude in God.

That the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ... —1 Peter 1:7
