"In one sense faith is the opposite of straining. It is ceasing from the effort to earn God's approval or to demonstrate your worth or merit. It is resting in the gracious promises of God to pursue us with goodness and mercy all our days. Faith is intrinsically easy. But this ease of faith assumes that our hearts are humble enough to renounce all self-reliance and self-direction and self-exaltation."
~John Piper
