Therefore my dear friends, as you have always obeyed- not only in my presence but now much more in my absence - continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Do everything without arguing and complaining so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe; as you hold out he word of life-in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.
Philippians 2: 12-16

Faith + Hope = Trust
Faith is the belief that God is ; hope is believing that God will do what he has promised; and trust is living with absolute confidence in the Father's acceptance and unconditional love; and totally abandoning yourself to whatever He asks of you to do; even when it doesn't make sense.
Faith + Hope = Trust
One must have faith in the Lord, hope that he will complete what he started, and trust with an absolute certainty that through His love one will accomplish the ultimate purpose that He has planned.
He is gonna do great things through the hearts that are open to trusting in His way, and living out hope, by faithfully believing that He is, who He says He is.

Postive Perception
The beauty in this life sometimes is hidden in our greatest leap of faith. The road may continue to be long and it may continue to bring hardship, but when the perception is changed, there is hope amidst the storm. The beauty isn't found when all is content and at peace...beauty is found when walking through the rough terrain, and having the faith that peace will be found. Sad but true, it has taken me a few years to reach this point in my life...and to truly grasp that walking through the hardship and having a positive perception can help lighten the burden of this life. It is through taking a daily leap of faith, that allows the beauty in this life to be captured, the peace to be sustained, and the grace to be given.
