Granted that it is best to seek the meaning intended by the author, we should not forget that Scripture is about love. We must approach Scripture in faith, hope, and love, and not place our trust in our own interpretations, which can lead us astray. Not erudition, but faith, hope, and love lead us to our goal of the vision of God. Many will attain this goal without studying even the books of Scripture.

Even though you may not understand how God works, you know he does.

God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us — in the dreariest and most dreaded moments — can see a possibility of hope.

Beliefs create reality

Don't worry about how bad things look right now. It's all going to fall into place. You'll see.

Faith always comes to the surface and always produces action. It cannot be contained. Thoughts and intents that are held within and not acted upon are not faith, no matter what we like to say. ("My faith is personal" is a favorite. But that is a self-contradicting statement. Faith is always acted out, never kept bottled up within.)

True faith is forged in the furnace, not the showroom.

Faith is the way we as receivers relate appropriately to God as the giver. It is empty hands held open for God to fill.

Parkinson's is my toughest fight. No, it doesn't hurt. It's hard to explain. I'm being tested to see if I'll keep praying, to see if I'll keep my faith. All great people are tested by God.

It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.

A universe of doubt could never erase, The faith his heart has embraced. No

It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And ones that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.
