Faith:
Faith is the substitution of things hoped for. It is the assurance, the confidence, the confirmation, the reality, the essence, the supporting ground, of things hoped for, the foundation that supports the things that are hoped for. It holds its place, never fades or comes to an end.
For all the things that we do not understand, faith is the proper substitution. Such a faith causes us to grow in life.
I am more than I know myself to be. I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion
