π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»I realize that all of these abstract ideas like belief can start to feel detached from the flesh-and-blood, bills-and-bankruptcy trials you may be going through.π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»
But maybe belief is not abstract. Maybe itβs the only foundation when everything is shaken. π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»
Paul put it like this, βwe know that suffering π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»

And hope does not put us to shame, π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»because Godβs love has been poured outπ» into our hearts π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»through the Holy Spirit,π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π» who has been given to usβ (Romans 5:3-5 NIV). π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»
