Hebrews 11:6 NIV
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

faith is the key to the Lord and in order to be on the right side of this pursuit, i am in charge of earnestly seeking God.  wholeheartedly, i must desire to know him and to be more like him.  i must believe in his existence first and foremost even if i cannot see him, and i must be willing to sacrifice for that faith.  persecution is imminent in the line of a disciple's work.  it's scary but it's also a path that's of the highest order.  the least will become the greatest and whoever dies will take his life and save it.  it's counter-intuitive but it's also sensible.  tiene sentido asi.

i think i might be choosing some strange things for my life, but in the end everything will be ok.  having faith means being ok with uncertainty, because there's so much that i cannot see, and yet it's there.  staring back at me plain as day.

john 14:15
if you love me, keep my commands

psalm 119:11
i have hidden your word in my heart that i might not sin against you.

2 timothy 3:16
all scripture is god breathed, and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.
