Thought patterns

Hope is not Faith. Hope employs doubt. Faith does not allow doubt.

Hope is linked to the phrase, "I'll try." Faith is active in the phrase, "I will.", which is directly linked to will power - meaning the power of will. (Not Bill, necessarily...smile)

Faith is the active participant. Which also brings to mind active, action, to act. That is the backbone of faith. (Need I remind one that hope is a wishbone?)

"One is never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true" ~unknown author. Ah..there's that power thing again...hmmm.
