God doesn’t require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.

~ Mother Teresa

Where faith begins

Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible.

There is no glory for God in that

which is humanly possible.

Faith begins where man’s power ends.

– George Mueller

Because we are free

our obedience to God is difficult:

it can be achieved only after contest and struggle,

and just this makes the reward of obedience

even more to be sought after.

– Irenaeus (Haer. IV.37.6–7).

The hopeful stare up the steps.

The faithful *step up the stairs*

We never see the miracles of God

until we start up the mountain.

-Ann VosKamp

To live by faith means to make decisions

Based on what God says, even though

You do not yet see the results.

-Tony Evens
