Mary E. Pearson Quotes

I definitely believe there is more than what can be seen. I don't know if it's anything that you'd consider omens or signs, but yes... I believe in something more.

Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted.

The older I get, the more I believe in what I can't explain or understand, even more than the things that are explainable and understandable.

I don't want to be thought of as somebody who's spiritually ambiguous, but the reality is there's unknown things happening. I'm not ready to point at what they are or what the reason is, but I know they exist.

How can the unknown merit reverence? In other words how can you revere that of which you are ignorant? At the same time, it would be ridiculous to propose that what we know merits reverence. What we know merits any one of a number of things, but it stands to reason reverence isn't one of them. In other words, apart from the known and the unknown, what else is there?

Mysteries are not necessarily miracles.

Life has its dimensions in the mysterious.

Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.

I have come to realize that God is sovereign, and there are things I just don't understand.

Life is doubt, and faith without doubt is nothing but death.

Faith is the effort to believe what your common sense tells you is not true.

I believe only in what I do not see.

Nothing before, nothing behind; The steps of faith Fall on the seeming void, and find The Rock beneath.

There’s no such thing as trust unless you have unanswered questions in your life. If you know everything, theres nothing to trust God for.

I show you doubt, to prove that faith exists.

Doubt always coexists with faith, for in the presence of certainty who would need faith at all?

I don't know how, but I know Who

I dont think that we're meant to understand it all the time. I think that sometimes we just have to have faith.

The greatest part cannot know, and therefore they must believe.

Faith consists in believing what reason cannot.

Faith means believing the unbelievable.

Faith and doubt go hand in hand, they are complementaries. One who never doubts will never truly believe.

Faith, to be faith, must center around something that is not known. Faith, to be faith, must go beyond that for which there is confirming evidence. Faith, to be faith, must go into the unknown. Faith, to be faith, must walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness. If everything has to be known, if everything has to be explained, if everything has to be certified, then there is no need for faith. Indeed, there is no room for it.

Your messages I hear, but faith has not been given; The dearest child of Faith is Miracle.

I have learned that faith means trusting in advance what will make sense only in reverse.
