“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1
My late Father-in-law, Dr. Robert H. Schuller, was known around the world as a man of positive faith. He ministered in countless countries, in person and on television, and lifted weary souls with best selling books such as “The Be-Happy Attitudes.” From politicians to Hollywood a-listers, they all drew near just to find that spark of renewal that he so freely gave away. Yet, I asked him once, do you ever have doubts? He said, “of course, all humans have doubts. But, I made a decision years ago,
I Would Rather Live Believing The Best, And Be Wrong,
Then Believe The Worst, And Be Proven Right”
He believed those words, whether they were about people in general or about his faith in God. His answer resonated with me on such a deep level that I have lived each day after that striving to believe the best, about God, and about people. A life of faith is a decision we choose to make every day. It’s a life that’s worked for me, and I can highly recommend it. The decision each day for you, is yours to make.
