In all the world I have no one but you. Help me to follow you, even though it seems impossible. Help me to trust you as much as I long to love you.

Maximus knows and expressly states that "faith is true knowledge based on unprovable principles, because it is the testimony to things that lie beyond both theoretical and practical reason."

There are three stages in the work of God: impossible, difficult,done.

If you haven't found it yet, keep looking.

If God is not with us, we do not want to continue. If the Sermon on the Mount is simply impractical, our mission work is hopeless. We have no backup plan. We have nothing but Him.
