That's what happens to "faith" that is really all about god being some genie in the sky who will bless me endlessly if I am a good follower.

An understandable pitfall in a me-centered world.

We expect things to go well, and blame God when they don't. I don't see anything in the Bible that promises a life full of blessings and good fortune. That fits more with false gods like Allah.

This world is not our home, and to think of it as such is to deceive ourselves.

It is a broken world, and there is much unhappiness here. Mostly, the unhappiness belongs to others. But sometimes the unhappiness belongs to us.

It is hard, but we must try to remember how fleeting and unimportant this world really is.

“For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. “

[Jack Hammer]

Amen, brother.
