day no. 16,009: sacrifice and resurrection

"Man must have just enough faith in himself to have adventures, and just enough doubt of himself to enjoy them." -- G.K. Chesterton

A man without faith will not reach beyond his grasp. A man without humility will not appreciate the stretch. A man needs enough confidence to go forward and not so much as to numb the thrill of advancing. To know the last page of your narrative would not increase your enjoyment of living out the pages of your story. You need enough suspense and doubt of the outcome to guarantee a life of genuine courage and faith and enough courage and faith to inspire a lifelong pursuit of the promised outcome.

“The one perfectly divine thing, the one glimpse of God's paradise given on earth, is to fight a losing battle - and not lose it.”  -- G.K. Chesterton

Faith leads a man to sacrifice... and to resurrection.
