From THE PROMISE

Page 37 of The Promise...

On the bus that night after the show, Chance gazed out the window from the hushed place to which he had withdrawn. His thoughts pulled him back to the stage and the song he'd chosen to sing. He knew he wasn't walking alone, but maintaining his faith was a struggle at times. Chance understood that the Lord would test, try, and push him...and that his stubbornness would at times get in the way of Chance surrendering to what is... Sometimes he could make no sense of it--people like the reporters who wanted to write untruths or manipulate legitimacy to fit what the world might like to see. He couldn't reconcile hatred or people hurting one another, physically or emotionally. But the doubts and questions that riddled him were reminders of the imperfections that made him merely a man...

"Love one another as I have loved you." John 15:12
