Dear Self,
The world is small, they say. I am but an ant in a jungle of bushes --- with eyes but couldn't see. Guided by the smell of faith, I followed the thread to nowhere. Where this heart would lead? I don't know... Pursuing the unknown, hoping this journey will end me where my soul can peacefully rest.
Yours,
Mixie21

Cruel with guilt, and daring with despair, the midnight murderer bursts the faithless bar; invades the sacred hour of silent rest and leaves, unseen, a dagger in your breast.
--Samuel Johnson

I have some very old photographs, postcards -- the images have changed with age -- someday soon to be all gone -- life is like Polaroids, but faith and love above all, I truly feel in my heart, somehow transcend the lethal memory of time.

Examples of extraordinary courage can boost our confidence. Some men were tested for their faith, or integrity and faced horrible death at the hands of tyrants. Whoever fights for a good cause can be threatened with hostility, or even death; on the contrary, the power is always given to a dumb puppet who is being manipulated by clever men.

"God's evergreening grace is no facade. My hope is anchored in my Savior's tree; His resurrection weakened Satan's limbs."

African is not fearful but faithful in dealings, not barbaric but a continent of believers and achievers lead by love not hate.
|
We all believe in a God, or supernatural something: The faithful pray -- those less inclined, wish on a star, a turn of a card, toss of the dice, spin of the wheel -- and so the bouncing ball lands on the black or white of a gambler's soul, his deity, Lady Luck. Ah, the atheist! I am often reminded of what my father repeated: "no atheist in Fox Holes". The older I get, the righter he becomes.
|
Yet some ' realities ', so skillfully woven and displayed, allow the faithful to believe in their story, while the truth remains absent and ashamed.
|
Love is The God Particle -- the elusive particle science seeks, from which all things came and will go back to -- Love is pure, unchangeable omnipotence. It can be lied about, mimicked, but children know the Real-deal, our beloved pets know, a faithful spouse knows...only politicians and bankers remain entirely oblivious.
|
Faith ... Hope ... Trust ... Belief ... where does the truth end, so we may heal beyond our grief ?
|
I think all God wants, is for us to try in good faith. Success for our souls already predetermined.
|
Faith is vitality for man's spiritual-heart, mind, and soul. One a day as a prophylactic, but excess will only do you better.
|
Faith sometimes is the best resolution. No one can think like God.
|
It is my daily prayer to God, and my ardent faith drives me as a Paraprofessional, to help at least one child each day, tear down walls of trepidation, and discover, that there is absolutely nothing, no nothing, that they cannot ultimately learn.
|
When you sell a type of Christianity whose only response to suffering and lose is that your either in sin or don't have enough faith, you set up a lot of people for frustration and anger.
Luka Mwango

Don't muddy somebody elses river from where they drink, where they are nurtured in their faith, nourished in Spirit, and are strengthened in the things of God.
|
Restless and faithless individuals seek the peace they can't find: only Christ can give it to them.
|
The faith in our God is the only hope for Humanity, although the unbelievers deride whoever believes in Him.
|
Bewildered people ask themselves, " Why is God punishing us? Why has He abandoned us? " I tell you otherwise, " Have faith in Him and sing " Hallelujah! "
|
One's faith must not be blind ... to a reality present and clearly seen.
|
Not all faith is blind nor do all blind have faith
|
There is nothing more human than faith.
|
Life can seem hard like diamonds, without a warmth of glitter -- petrifying~ a disappointed heart aged into stone -- but all such griefs will be shattered with time, mended into rainbows. Faith.
|
Having witness many of man's harsh truths up close, juxtaposed to the many possible lies of tender faith -- Faith for me always wins out.
|
Those who choose to mislead others, with false narratives and fiction... often wear a mask of faith, that covers their addiction.
