Faith


"Patience is more than endurance.  A saint's life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer.  God is aiming at something the saint cannot see...He goes on stretching till His purpose in in sight, then He lets fly."

"Trust yourself in God's hands.
Maintain your relationship to Jesus Christ by the patience of faith."
"Faith is not a pathetic sentiment, but robust vigorous confidence built on the fact that God is holy love.  You cannot see Him just now, you cannot understand what He is doing, but you know Him."
"Faith is the heroic effort of your life; you fling yourself in reckless confidence on God."
"God has ventured all in Jesus Christ to save us, now He wants us to venture our all in abandoned confidence in Him.  There are spots where that faith has not worked in us as yet, places untouched by the life of God.  The real meaning of eternal life is a life that can face anything it has to face without wavering.  If we take this view, life becomes one great romance, a glorious opportunity for seeing marvelous things all the time.  God is disciplining us to get us into this central place of power."
Thank you Oswald Chambers ("My Utmost for His Highest)
