We don't live by faith by reading a rule book, or following a map, or working through a career development program, or following the arrows. We do not begin with things, or pieces of paper, or ideas, or feelings, or deeds, or successes. Especially not successes, because we have learned that every success is an abbstraction which turns a person into an empty shell. Any formula that prevents failure also prevents freedom. We begin with God. We dare to believe that God cares who we are, knows who we are. We dare to believe that God is the reality beyond and beneath and around all things, visible and invisible, and that he provides for us and loves and blesses and saves us.
"Examinai tudo. Retende o bem", I Tessalonicenses 5:21
