Certain of What We Do Not See



Hebrews 11:1

NIV

1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
NASB

1Now faith is the (A)assurance of things (B)hoped for, the conviction of (C)things not seen.
The Message

1-2The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It's our handle on what we can't see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.

The Amplified Bible
1NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, [a]the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].

What a beautiful photo...and post!

Thanks for directing me to it! I am going to use it for tomorrow's post on my mother-in-laws blog--She is currently in critical care at a Heart Center...and this photo shows a beautiful visual of her faith!
