Faith enables us to measure the world at its real value.
H. P. Liddon
Do not speak evil against one another, brethren.
James 4:11

Most commit the same mistake with God that they do with their friends: they do all the talking.
Fulton J. Sheen

This solid faith doth empty the believer of himself. The native work of faith is to make the soul rest in Christ alone. True faith lays the burden of all duties and difficulties upon Him.
Blaise Pascal
And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
1 Thessalonians 5:14-15
The New International Version
How shall we become lovely? By loving Him who is ever lovely.
Augustine

Our faith is never perfect; we are partly unbelievers. Faith is a humble, self-denying grace; it makes the Christian nothing in himself, and all in God.
John Calvin
“Judge not, that you be not judged.”
Matthew 7:1
The Revised Standard Version
Whatever God tells us to do, He also helps us to do.

Faith is a living and unshakeable confidence, a belief in the grace of God, so assured that a man would die a thousand deaths for its sake. This makes us joyful, high-spirited and eager in our relations with God and with all mankind.
Martin Luther
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
2 Corinthians 12:10
The King James Version
An American tourist in India stood by in awe as he watched Mother Teresa lovingly clean the infected wounds of a horribly disfigured leper, “Sister,” he commented, “I wouldn’t do that for a million dollars!” Her response, “Neither would I, brother. Neither would I.”

It can be easy for us to get discouraged with a no, but if we trust that God is directing our path, then we won’t receive it as a rejection but as a redirection.
Deb Hopper
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Ephesians 5:20
The King James Version
I rest beneath the Almighty’s shade,
My griefs expire, my troubles cease;
Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stayed,
Wilt keep me still in perfect peace.

Guide me, O Lord, in all the changes and varieties of the world; that in all things that shall happen, I may have an evenness and tranquility of spirit; that my soul may be wholly resigned to Thy divine will and pleasure, never murmuring at Thy gentle chastisements and fatherly correction. Amen.
Jeremy Taylor
“But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
Joshua 24:15
The New King James Version
Faith furnishes prayer with wings, without which it cannot soar to Heaven.
John Climacus

The crosses which we make for ourselves by a restless anxiety as to the future, are not crosses which come from God. We show want of faith in Him by our false wisdom, wishing to forestall His arrangements, and struggling to supplement His Providence by our own providence. The future is not yet ours; perhaps it never will be. If it comes, it may come wholly different from what we have foreseen. Let us shut our eyes, then, to that which God hides from us, and keeps in reserve in the treasures of His deep counsels. Let us worship without seeing; let us be silent; let us abide in peace.
François Fénelon
The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
Deuteronomy 33:12
The King James Version
If a bird is flying for pleasure, it flies with the wind, but if it meets danger it turns and faces the wind, in order that it may rise higher.

Give up yourself to God without reserve; in singleness of heart, meeting everything that every day brings forth, as something that comes from God, and is to be received and gone through by you, in such an heavenly use of it, as you would suppose the holy Jesus would have done, in such occurrences. This is an attainable degree of perfection.
William Law
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
Psalm 116:7
The King James Version
Faith is simply taking God at His word.
