From Mark 11:22-23:  “Jesus answered them, ‘Have faith in God.  Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and if you do not doubt in your heart but believe that what you say will come to pass, it will be done for you.'”

Helen Steiner Rice (1900-1981) was an American writer who specialized in Christian and inspirational poetry.

All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.

From Hebrews 11:1-3:  “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.  Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval.  By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was an American essayist, poet, and philosopher.  He was a leading voice in America’s transcendentalist movement in the 19th century.

Make your life count by being a beacon of Christ and the gospel for everyone around you.

From Matthew 5:14-16:  “You are the light of the world.  A city built on a hill cannot be hid.  People do not light a lamp and put it under the bushel basket; rather, they put it on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.
