Faith

Faith is not a way of speaking or even a way of thinking, it is a way of living.
"If you want to know what a person REALLY believes, don't listen to what he/she says but what he/she does."- Maurice Blondel
Only the practice of faith can verify what we believe. Does faith permeate the whole of your life? Does it form your judgments about death? About success? Does it influence the way you read the newspaper? Do you have a divine sense of humor that sees through people and events into the unfolding plan of God? When things are turbulent on the surface of your life, do you retain a quiet calm, firmly fixed in ultimate reality?- Brennan Manning
"Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you. All things are passing. God alone remains."- Therese of Lisieux.
Without faith, it is impossible to please God.- Hebrews 11:6
Whatever is not from faith, is sin.- Romans 14:23
"God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."- 1 Samuel 16:7
"for with the heart a person believes"- Romans 10:10
“It shall be done to you according to your faith.”- Jesus, Matthew 9:29
