Everyone would like to have stronger faith. By themselves, the scriptures may not strengthen your faith, but being faithful to what they teach, does. In other words, faith cannot be separated from faithfulness.

John Bytheway

I do not intend to be one of those who bemoan little results, while resting in the faithfulness of God. My cue is to take hold of the faithfulness of God and USE THE MEANS necessary to secure big results.

James O. Fraser

The manuscript may go forth from the writer to return with a faithfulness passing the faithfulness of the boomerang or the homing pigeon.

Rose Macaulay

Faithfulness to principle is only proved by faithfulness in detail.

Frances Ridley Havergal

Faith is the virtue by which, clinging-to the faithfulness of God, we lean upon him, so that we may obtain what he gives to us.

William Ames

Faithfulness in little things is a big thing.

Saint John Chrysostom

Faithfulness in small things leads to faithfulness in great things, and never the other way around.

Jerry Lee Lewis

The primary reason we lose faith is because we forget the faithfulness of God. Maybe that's why the word 'remember' is repeated 250 times in Scripture.

Mark Batterson

The faith to step out is worthless without the faithfulness to stick it out.

Steven Furtick

Faithfulness, faith, all of the words that so few people live, you must live. Only then are you worthy of immortality.

Frederick Lenz

FAITH untried may be true faith, but it is sure to be little faith, and it is likely to remain dwarfish so long as it is without trials.

Charles Spurgeon

Sometimes when we read the words of those who have been more than conquerors, we feel almost despondent. I feel that I shall never be like that. But they won through step by step, by little bits of wills, little denials of self, little inward victories, by faithfulness in very little things. They became what they are. No one sees these little hidden steps. They only see the accomplishment, but even so, those small steps were taken. There is no sudden triumph, no spiritual maturity. That is the work of the moment.

Amy Carmichael

Faith is the avenue to salvation. Not intellectual understanding. Not money. Not your works. Just simple faith. How much faith? The faith of a mustard seed, so small you can hardly see it. But if you will put that little faith in the person of Jesus, your life will be changed. He will come with supernatural power into your heart. It can happen to you.

Billy Graham

A little thing is a little thing, but faithfulness in little things is a great thing.

Hudson Taylor

The strength of your faith is not measured by the absence of doubt, but by the faithfulness of your life in the face of doubt.

Nicky Gumbel

My work...is to shatter the faith of men here, there, and everywhere, faith in affirmation, faith in negation, and faith in abstention from faith, and this for the sake of faith in faith itself.

Miguel de Unamuno
