Faith defined...

The best definition of faith that I know is that it is reason grown courageous. Moreover, that is all that Christ ever asked us for, and the reason that He asked us for that was because He wants to use us. He needs our help. It is almost impossible to believe it, but God Almighty wants our help, so Christ tells us. Theoretically or mathematically this is unintelligible, that God should want human help. But this is the bottom of all Christ's teaching. The faith He asks for is not to understand Him but to follow Him. By that and that alone can people convert the tragedy of human life, full of disappointments, disillusionments, and with so-called death ever looming ahead, into the most glorious field of honor, worthy of the dignity of a son of God. What Christ asks is that we shall try it out. He actually dares us to follow him. In that way, He says, you shall win that prize in life, for which any man can with perfect reason afford to give everything else.

God...

God is the hardest taskmaster I have known on this earth, and he tries you through and through. And when you find that your faith is failing or your body is failing you, and you are sinking, he comes to your assistance somehow or other and proves to you that you must not lose your faith and that he is always at your beck and call, but on his terms, not on your terms. So I have found. I cannot really recall a single instance when, at the eleventh hour, he has forsaken me.
