IV. EXPECT GREAT THINGS OF YOURSELF

Faith is an optimist because it sees the way out. Doubt is a pessimist, can not see the way ahead and fears because not conscious of being able to cope with the uncertain.

Faith opens the door of ability and develops superiority.

The habit of expecting great things of ourselves calls out the best that is in us.

Faith is the divine messenger sent to guide man, blinded by doubt and sin.

WHAT would be the probable success of an animal tamer who went into a cage with ferocious wild beasts for the first time full of fear, doubt, uncertainty? What if he said to himself, "I will try to conquer these wild animals, but I really do not believe I can do it. It is a pretty tough proposition for a human being to try to conquer a wild tiger from the jungles of Africa. There may be men who can do it, but I doubt very much whether I can."
