Too close to the edge

Something has been bugging me recently, since witnessing how a loved one respond to what you will call a disappointing situation. I understand that disappointments can really be discouraging. Deffered hope and dashed expectations demoralise the strongest of us. This I can understand. Really can.

However, it concerns me that believers are living too close to the edge of unbelief. We have an "inch" of our roots into faith and ten "inches" into doubt. We acknowledge a bit of God to make us "Christian", especially when things are rosy, but acknowledge so much of our circumstances when things are not that rosy - and look like infidels in the process. It really burdens me. Oh God, save this generation of believers!

I will rather be rooted and grounded so deep in God that no wind of adversity can uproot me. Like Paul, I want to be able to say "What can separate me from the love of Christ?" Nothing, absolutely nothing! (And when I say that, I want to mean it because it is true). Help us Lord Jesus!
