~ Faith is different from proof; the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God. ~
~ Faith means living with uncertainty - feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark ~
~ Faith is a light of such supreme brilliance that it dazzles the mind and darkens all its visions of other realities, but in the end when we become used to the new light, we gain a new view of all reality transfigured and elevated in the light itself. ~
~ Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times. ~
~ Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them. ~
~ Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things - with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope. ~
~ The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen. ~
~ Nothing can be more hurtful to an honourable man than that he should be accused of bad faith ~
~ All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired. ~
~ Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted. ~
~ For those who may not find happiness to exercise religious faith, it's okay to remain a radical atheist, it's absolutely an individual right, but the important thing is with a compassionate heart -- then no problem. ~
~ Faith is the pierless bridge supporting what we see unto the scene that we do not. ~
