Faith is not...

"Faith is not a storm cellar to which men and women can flee for refuge from the storms of life. It is, instead, an inner force that gives them the strength to face those storms and their consequences with serenity of spirit."

~ Sam J. Ervin, Jr.

Excellent quote! So many "use" faith in their desperate hours and forget it when they are self-sufficient. Although it's not really faith they use, but God. Faith is something you receive and it is developed...not available as a drive through convenience. My faith is the only reason I can smile at the storms and live through my days...HE IS IN CONTROL!
