Where is faith?

Faith—Where is faith? 

Despair—Ah, yes; that is there, and desperation too.

It is only the shadows that represent life in this terrible guise. All the while, be the day calm or be it rough, Christ walks beside you, protecting you, and throwing off that which would approach.

The mind may suffer, but picture to yourself the difference between that simile of faith and what is really taking place—

You are not falling—

There is no terrible gap between you and safety. 

You are held by Christ, and if now and again, you feel you are stumbling, then still more is Christ there to steady you, to encourage and to lead you on.

—Zodiac, the Christ Messenger
