This week, Sunday Reflections walks the path of faith:

“None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.” ~ Paulo Coelho

“Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore

“When you come to the end of all the light you know, and it’s time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.” ~ Edward Teller

“You know that if you get in the water and have nothing to hold on to, but try to behave as you would on dry land, you will drown. But if, on the other hand, you trust yourself to the water and let go, you will float. And this is exactly the situation of faith.” ~ Alan Watts

“Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark. If we truly knew all the answers in advance as to the meaning of life and the nature of God and the destiny of our souls, our belief would not be a leap of faith and it would not be a courageous act of humanity; it would just be… a prudent insurance policy.” ~ Elizabeth Gilbert

“I don’t think that we’re meant to understand it all the time. I think that sometimes we just have to have faith.” ~ Nicholas Sparks

“Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.” ~ Khalil Gibran

“Thanks to faith we become stronger within our spirit. Faith is hard to find, but if you believe, it’s there waiting for you to follow the light. We only hurt ourselves when we don’t believe we have faith. Faith can be the key… Just believe and you can cross that broken bridge.” ~ S.Chamberlain

“Back of every creation, supporting it like an arch, is faith. Enthusiasm is nothing: it comes and goes. But if one believes, then miracles occur.” ~ Henry Miller

“Be like the bird who, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing she hath wings.” ~ Victor Hugo
