Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.
When we believe that we should be satisfied rather than God glorified in our worship, then we put God below ourselves as though He had been made for us rather than that we had been made for Him.
The Bible in the memory is better than the Bible in the book case.
Behold in faith the sinless, spotless Lamb of God as having already borne that weight, as having suffered for those sins, as having died for those transgressions, and accept the precious truth that it was God's eternal love that laid them all on Jesus, and that nothing is left for you to do but to believe in Jesus, that He saves to the uttermost all that come unto God by Him.
God doesn't break things so He can fix them; He fixes broken things so He can use them.
If we live the faith in our daily life, then our work too becomes a chance to spread the joy of being a Christian.
I believed that there was a God because I was told it by my grandmother and later by other adults. But when I found that I knew not only that there was God but that I was a child of God, when I understood that, when I comprehended that, more than that, when I internalized that, ingested that, I became courageous.
Be BLESSED-spirit, soul, body and financially.
Within each experience of pain or negativity is the opportunity to challenge the perception that lies behind it, the fear that lies behind it, and choose to learn with wisdom. The fear will not vanish immediately, but it will disintegrate as you work with courage. When fear ceases to scare you, it cannot stay. When you choose to learn through wisdom, to evolve consciously, your fears surface one at a time in order for you to exorcise them with inner faith. This is how it happens. You exorcise your own demons.
Only the person who has faith in himself is able to be faithful to others.
It is truer to say that martyrs create faith more than faith creates martyrs.
Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!
Through the present moment, you have access to the power of life itself, that which has traditionally been called "God." As soon as you turn away from it, God ceases to be a reality in your life, and all you are left with is the mental concept of God, which some people believe in and others deny. Even belief in God is only a poor substitute for the living reality of God manifesting every moment of your life.
Faith is belief in what you cannot see or prove or touch. Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark.
No half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the light unflinchingly.
One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
I don't doubt for a moment that the revolution will result in a nonracial society. I have just come from being a patient in Groote Schuur Hospital where they now have integrated wards. For the first time in my life, I have seen it working. The patients were mixed, the staff was mixed, and the medical officers were mixed; it was totally integrated. It was beautiful. White and black together. And it works. To me that is terribly exciting.
One often sees a call only in retrospect. This too is God's design. God often reinforces our faith after we trust him, not before.
Prayer is not trying to twist God’s arm to make Him do something. Prayer is receiving by faith what He has already done!
Faith makes the discords of the present the harmonies of the future.
Faith: Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.
Of course I doubt. I do not practice a certainty. I practice a faith.
If we empty our hearts of self God will fill them with His love.
Faith moves mountains, but you have to keep pushing while you are praying.
