Faith

The scriptures teach us
That faith is the substance
Of things hoped for
And the evidence of things not seen;
It's the positive assurance that what
We hope for is going to happen,
A life that's never been.

I am confident that there is a Jesus,
I am confident that He is coming back,
I am confident that He has gone
To prepare a place for us,
I am confident that the scriptures
Are Holy and inspired of God,

I don't always understand
His answers,
But I know He has
My best interest at heart.
Without my faith it would
Be impossible to please Him;

His Holy word strengthens
My spirit, my faith,
He renews my soul,
My faith never keeps us apart.

Faith is likened to
Child jumping off a
Table top into their
Fathers waiting arms.

What father abandons his child?
If that child asks for anything,
Would a father
Give them something that harms?


I have faith that someday
I will see God face to face;
Presently we see and understand
Only a small portion about God,
It's as if we are seeing
Him dimly in a poor mirror,

See Ephesians 6:16, Hebrews 11:1, Hebrews 11:6
I Corinthians 13:12
