Well, we made it through another year. At times we might wonder how we made it or how we survived in such difficult financial times. I know many people who have had difficult year including some of you in the church today. Some of you have had to deal with financial hardships. Others have lost their job. And others have shared with me the their sadness through the loss of a loved one or the illness of a parent, child or spouse. I have been moved by the amount of faith and trust you have shown. I know it doesn’t always feel like faith, but it is true. You have the kind of faith that moves mountains. The days that seem darkest and most desperate make us see what’s truly important. Jealousy, pomposity, rudeness, inflated ego, all that fades. What we are left with is faith and love, a faith and love that bears all things, even when it is painful, believes all things, even when it feels like anything but faith, hopes all things in hopeless situations, and finds the strength to endures all things. That is faith that does not fail.
