"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things unseen."
Hebrews 11:1 --- Submitted by Dylan Jacobs --- United Kingdom
Have always interpreted this not just about faith in God, but faith at all levels, in your own ability, in your family, in justice, in your beliefs. Napoleon Hill spoke of this at length too! With these tough times for the world, faith is all many of us have, and without it, we are nothing. Wealth can be depleted, lost, stolen, and mistreated. Wealth can be traded, and has not preference in who becomes its master. Faith is your right, and the only right that can never be taken, or misused. On the contrary, the more efforts made to destroy it, the stronger it becomes, and outshines any diamond wealth can give you.
"When you stumble and fall, always remember that someone will pick you up for sure. Mistakes in life do happen, but God knows how to correct and set them right."

Many people lose faith in life, thinking that there is no hope left, at the end of the road. But life would be worth living, if they just trusted the one above.
If I look at my life I'd have to say
That you've blessed me in such a special way
I'm amazed that you would even look at me
You condescend to someone so unworthy
You drew me to yourself from afar
Thank you for your mercy
Thank you for your generous protection
Thank you for leading me away from sin and keeping me close to you
Helping me feel no fear
Thank you for cleansing me within
Thank you for giving your life within
Thank you for your righteous sacrifice
My mind can't conceive of such love within
That you would leave the Father in Heaven above
Thank you for the life you gave me and for always
Being right near me
When I'm sad you show me the truth
To help me repent each day you've sent
More goodness you have bestowed on me
By giving me a loving, wonderful family
Then there are moments when we meet together
A foretaste of Heaven, which will be forever and still, day by day
You guide my path throughout each day.
Thank you God for loving me!!
Thank you, you're all I really need!

"My child, you are a miracle borrowed from another world. Like the breath inside of me, you will stay a part of me. Winds of change, love will bring us closer, far from tears, fears and dangers, my love will be there by your side. You taught me the love that I never knew. You made me realize the things that the world has let me forget. In you, I discover so much of life and the preciousness of love. You are the reason I have been kept on my knees and I could never thank you enough for giving me a reason to believe."

"When I am on a jet, soaring 30,000 + feet in the air and suddenly very rough to severe turbulence hits, as I brace myself emotionally I always take comfort in knowing that God knows exactly where I am at that precise moment.

"Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love."
George Eliot
