Why I Choose Faith Over Doubt

I choose faith because I know what the fruits of a faith-filled life taste like and I KNOW that they are real.

I choose faith because while it doesn’t perfect me, or qualify me for anything by itself, it encourages me, fills me with hope, and gives me direction and satisfaction to my life.
