Every marriage vow that is not kept, every promise that is not fulfilled, every debt that is not paid, and every promised prayer that is not prayed… all touch on the issue of faithfulness.

Life is a puzzle - a process of making disjointed pieces fit together into a big picture. When we know what to do, we lack power. And when we feel empowered, sometimes we don’t know what to do.
