More From Michael Novak

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.

The most important thing in life is human affection. without it one cannot achieve genuine happiness. and if we want a happier life, a happier family, happier neighbours or a happier nation, the key is inner quality. even if the five billion human beings that inhabit the earth become millionaires, without inner development there cannot be peace or any lasting happiness.

Our trusting the lord does not mean that there are not times of tears. i think it is a mistake as christians to act as though trusting the lord and tears are not compatible.
