I can look at the future with anticipation. And it's comforting to know that someday, as Christians, we'll be able to look back and have a little more clarity on why certain things in life happened.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have to keep an eye on the future with a sense of the past in every passing moment of the present.
I don't know what the future holds, but I know that God holds tomorrow, so it is exciting. Even when I have hard things happen, He loves me so big, so much. I come through it and I grow from it, because He has got me.
The future is as bright as your faith.
I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.
When I want to understand what is happening today or try to decide what will happen tomorrow, I look back.
I think we spend so much of our lives trying to pretend that we know what's going to happen next. In fact we don't. To recognize that we don't know even what will happen this afternoon and yet having the courage to move forward - that's one meaning of faith.
We are comfortable with the fact that we cannot know personally what happened in the world before we were born, yet we are uncomfortable with the notion that we will stop engaging with time at some point in the future.
How we think about the future and the past determines everything about how we think about our situation as human beings.
So I try not to look too far into the future because I think that everything happens and will happen for a reason.
I've always been absolutely appalling about the future, but I sort of think that was my childhood religion. We were future deniers. You did your best in the present, which was all around you.
