Motivational Quotes

Faith

We think having faith means being convinced God exists in the same way we are convinced a chair exists. People who cannot be completely convinced of GodÆs existence think faith is impossible for them. Not so. People who doubt can have great faith because faith is something you do, not something you think. In fact, the greater your doubt the more heroic your faith.
