Faith is the most unexercised muscle known to man.

In the absence of faith, our dreams will move from feasible aspirations to implausible fantasy.

With God, the impossible is not an obstacle but an invitation.

Once faith dies, the death of hope follows hard on its heels.

My first mistake is to humanize God. My second mistake is to hold those wretched human characteristics up against all of the majestic things that I sense God should be. The blatant discrepancy which is certain to ensue then allows me to not only justify my rejection of Him, it grants me unbridled permission to discount His existence altogether. And that third and final mistake is without a doubt the most costly of all.

If I am not at 'peace', then I can be altogether confident that I've placed a larger 'piece' of myself in the hands of someone other than God.
