True faith is never found alone; it is accompanied by expectation.

God dwells in the heart where praise is.

As we come to the Bible, we can come with the holy anticipation of actually meeting with God.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear. Fear is a painful emotion that arises at the thought that we may be harmed or made to suffer. As long as we must trust for survival to our ability to out look or out maneuver the enemy, we have every good reason to be afraid. Fear is torment. To know that love is of God and to enter into the secret place leaning upon the arm of the Beloved, this and only this can cast out fear.

We are often hindered from giving up our treasures to the Lord out of fear for their safety; this is especially true when those treasures are loved relatives and friends. But we need have no such fears. Our Lord came not to destroy but to save. Everything is safe which we commit to Him, and nothing is really safe which is not so committed.

It's not what you did, but what you could have done if you allowed the Lord to work His will in your life.

Faith in God is to be demonstrated, not defined.
