I have been thinking quite a bit about FAITH lately and today I found quite a bit about faith. Here we are:

“Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.”

Oswald Chambers

“Faith does not minimise difficulties but does magnify God.”

Bramwell H. Tillsley (Manpower for the Master)

“What is faith? It is giving myself to God, ‘risking’ myself ( if we may use such a term, when there is no risk about it), risking my all, for this life and for the next, on the truthfulness and the goodness of God, and daring to live and act contrary to everybody around me, knowing that all God has said is true.”

Catherine Booth

Life and Death

Listen to what D. L. Moody says: ( I hope you have heard about D.L. Moody!)

“NEXT  TO THE MIGHT OF GOD, THE SERENE BEAUTY OF A HOLY LIFE IS THE MOST POWERFUL INFLUENCE FOR GOOD IN THE WORLD.”

“….THE SERENE BEAUTY OF A HOLY LIFE…”

IS THAT WHY WE AS CHRISTIANS HAVE LOST THE CUTTING EDGE?

Today I read something what I have also experienced.

It brought back to me what is written in the letter to the Hebrews in chapter twelve. It says there that God is our Heavenly Father and that we are his Sons. The first thirteen verses of Hebrews  chapter twelve have the caption: “God Disciplines His sons. ”

I don’t know if you have heard about Joy Cowley. But she writes the following and she says it so beautiful:

“I’ve had a very ordinary life which at the same time has been very rich — lots of wonderful things have happened. But the most wonderful things are the ones I didn’t want at the time, the HARDSHIPS.”

Hebrews 12:7 mentions hardships. Here we go: “ENDURE hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?”
