Faith – Is a tool that is used by all. Faith takes a belief/hope and if acted upon will give you a results. If that belief/hope is a true principle it will always give you the same outcome leading you to knowledge. Faith exercised leads to Knowledge. Correctly applied knowledge will lead you to wisdom.

Last Night as players listen to what I had to say about the service return they found that if they moved towards the net and only did a half swing the ball stayed lower and they were able to return even 100 mph servers that were spraying all over the place just moments before. Is there more to learn about the service return absolutely. Timing, Visualization, Control, Power but for just a few minutes they saw the possibilities and the hope that they could be good if they want to be. They are satisfied to return 1 professional serve. Andy Roddick was satisfied with 1 Grand Slam and $20,637,390.00  during his career.

The strength of our faith is only as strong as the number of things we are willing to hope for and believe in. Too many of us quit hoping for things because we have so much or are so blessed or we have done that, I am done with that item like it is a check list or we have hoped for things to happen without doing anything and have lost our faith along the way.

Remember that all truth comes from God and is testified to by the Holy Ghost. Burn it in your heart and soul and you will know it is true:

Alma 32:21

And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.

You can have a great Backhand. You can play 4.0. You can have a great service return, but remember we as human beings have limited sight. Don’t limit where you can go or what you can do. Open your eyes to hope and faith. “Be ye Perfect even as I am perfect.” All things are possible.
