You cannot discover new oceans of faith  unless you have the courage to leave your current shore of security.

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.

Taking faith risks? You will always miss a 100% of the shots you don’t take.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you fail to focus on the Lord.  

Faith is believing in advance what will make sense in the future.

Great trial brings great faith brings great victory.

Time spent waiting on the Lord is never wasted.
