Faith Is
Faith is your gift
the ability to believe in what you cannot
prove
to imagine
in a purpose
in one another.
Out of faith comes hope.
Hope is your way out
out of depression
out of despair.
From hope comes your will to try
for dreams
for a future.
Love is your gift of thankfulness
a willingness to share of yourselves with
others.
Without Love there is deceit -- selfishness.
Faith - Hope - Love
All gifts.
They are yours.
Use them.
The less you use them
the more flame fades away

Faith _Works
Pray daily for Faith. It is My Gift. It is your only requisite for the accomplishment of deeds.
Certainly you have to work, you have to pray, but upon Faith alone depends the answer to your
prayers_your works.
I give it you in response to your prayer, because it is the necessary weapon for you to
possess for the dispersion of evil, _the overcoming of all adverse conditions, and the
accomplishment of all good in your lives, and then having Faith, give it back to Me. It is
the envelope in which every request to Me should be placed.
And yet "Faith without works is
dead." So you need works, too. to feed your Faith in Me. As you seek to do, you
feel your helplessness. You then turn to Me. In knowing Me, your faith grows_and
that faith is all you need for My Power to work.

Faith & Doubt
Doubt sees the obstacles,
Faith sees the way;
Doubt sees the darkest night,
Faith sees the day;
Doubt dreads to take a step,
Faith soars on high;
Doubt questions "Who Believes,
Faith answers, I !!
God's Rush to Give
SILENCE. Be silent before me. Seek to know, and then to do My will in all things.
Abide in My Love. An atmosphere of loving understanding to all men. This is your
part to carry out, and then I surround you with a protective screen that keeps all evil from you.
It is fashioned by your own attitude of mind, words, and deeds, towards others.I want to give you all things, good measure, pressed
down and running over. Be quick to learn. You know little yet of the Divine Impatience
which longs to rush to give. Does one worring thought enter your mind, one impatient thought?
Fight it at once.
Love and Trust are the solvents for the worry and cares and frets of a life. Apply them
at once. You are channels and though the channel may not be altogether blocked, fret and
impatience and worry corrode, and in time would become beyond your help.
Persevere, oh! persevere, Never lose heart.
All is well.

Luke 15:4-7
4 "What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the
ninety-nine in the open pasture, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it? 5
"And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 "And when he comes
home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, `Rejoice with me, for I
have found my sheep which was lost!' 7 "I tell you that in the same way, there will be more
joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no
repentance. |
