摘要：In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph. "Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). I've questioned a dozen times how I can be absolutely sure of things that I only hope for and how I can be completely convinced of things I have never seen. There isn’t an easy answer other than I AM absolutely sure of the hope of good coming from bad situations and I AM absolutely convinced that there is a mighty and loving God seated in the Heavenly Realm working in and around our lives. I have no mathematical formula that proves this. I have no scientific proof that either is correct or right, but I have no doubt whatsoever. When there is proof there is no need for faith. Living a life in which everything is certain is meaningless."
