Life is a one way road. You can choose to keep moving forward to new territory. Or you can choose to go in reverse because it is familiar territory, but then you get further away from ever moving forward.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
He who has faith has an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well - even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.
