And to fellow Christians you might seem hopeless. An ultra-marathon champion staggering up the final hill looks pathetic. A child could do better. Anyone not understanding what this man has gone through would shrink from him in disgust. Only someone with all the facts would be awed by his stamina as he stumbles on.
Life seems hopeless.
Every day it feels you ve slumped another notch. To maintain even a glimmer of faith in such darkness is a spectacular victory. It may take everything you ve got just to hold on. But do it. You are pumping spiritual iron.
