Faith rises above difficulties

“If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:23).
“This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4).

Unbelief begins at the obstacle, and then tries to work for God, but the obstacle shuts out the sight of God. Unbelief looks at the mountain of difficulty. Faith says, “I like mountain scenery, let me get on to the top and see the view.” Faith begins with God, and the obstacle becomes as a molehill.
—Reader Harris.

It is men of faith who have saved the world, not men of knowledge
—Sir Wilfred Grenfell.

Faith is the source of power, a principle of action; men of faith have always been men of action. Where there is belief there must be something to believe.
—Graham Scroggie.

The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety.

Faith is the basis of all great, active enterprises.
Faith is the source, the parent of all true feeling.
Faith constitutes the free bond of union between God and man.
Faith always has an object and always has results.
Faith, unexercised, becomes weak; faith, in frequent exercise, becomes strong.
Our faith in God will be in proportion to our consecration to God—a life of true faith is a life of entire consecration.
Faith is the one great law of the life of holy beings.
Living by faith without knowledge is living in the truest divine light.
When we are led in the way of faith, we are led by God Himself.
—Thomas Upham.
