Courtenay Good

What distinguishes us, what sets us apart?  How do we know we are good enough? We are told we are worthy, loved beyond all measures.  Why do we strive to be loved, only to feel unloved?  We strive to feel together, only to feel broken.  

Maybe it is faith that sets us apart, that defines us, that creates life.  Five simple letters, yet one great meaning.  The force that keeps us together, that makes us feel loved, that gives us life.  Faith.  Daring our souls to go beyond what our eyes see.  To believe in the unknown and hope for things anew.  Faith that shines through when the rain is pouring down.  When puddles collect at our feet in a dirty mess, faith wipes us clean.  It heals our wounds and brings a smile to the broken hearted.
