Faith Shaken or Strengthened?

"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with the power through His spirit in the inner man, and that the Messiah may dwell inside your hearts through faith. I pray that you being rooted and firmly established in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God's love, and to know the Messiah's love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think--according to the power that works within you--to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."

Ephesians 3:14-21

Why do you believe what you believe? When asked that question, what would your response be? I've been challenged this semester. In Philosophy of Christian Religion, we explored why we believed what we believed. In response, this is my decree:

I will choose to serve my God daily for the rest of my life. I realize now more than ever how much love is based on decision. Love IS a decision. Love isn't easy by any means. It is life altering. It is commitment. I will never have ample evidence to believe what I believe, but I have faith. This is enough. I am forever His.
