But if Not....

"Faith is believing that although we do not understand all things, He does.

Faith is knowing that although our power is limited, His is not.

Faith in Jesus Christ consists of complete reliance on Him. Our God will deliver us from ridicule and persecution, but if not... Our God will deliver us from sickness and disease, but if not... Our God will deliver us from loneliness, depression or fear, but if not... Our God will deliver us from threats, accusations, and insecurity, but if not... He will deliver us from death or impairment of loved ones, but if not... we will trust the Lord. Our God will see that we receive justice and fairness, but if not... He will make sure that we are loved and recognized, but if not... We will receive a perfect companion and righteous and obedient children, but if not... We will have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, knowing that if we do all we can do, we will in His time and in His way, be delivered and receive all that he has. "
