Paul wrote: "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by *the faith of* the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Paul clearly stated that he lived off Jesus' faith, not by mustering up enough of his own. That childlike humility where we are even dependent on His faith (rather than ours) is quite freeing, actually. :) I pray His purposes will be realized in whatever situation you find yourself. Love to you and yours! Hi Bethany, I recently read this in a book by Wayne Jacobson:
