In this world we live in
So many seem to be
A victim of the Circumstance
Beyond which they can't see.

They go through life so blindly
Surrendering to cruel Fate,
As if that was their Destiny
Doomed to a life they hate!

No wonder they feel misery
And for them hope is gone,
The spring in their step is sprung
And their tune's a Mournful song.

Such need a new perspective
And a New Lease on life,
Is there such available
To free from perpetual Blight???

Yes, FAITH not FATE is the answer
Believe in the Power Divine,
Who can o'errule Life's Distresses
The more Abundant Life to find!

Faith can make the diff'rence
Shed light when all is gloom,
Bring to the place of Rejoicing
Once you exit Fate's Mourners Room.

To walk by sight will blind us,
To the True Realities,
To walk by Faith will lead us
Into Potentialities!

And so for your own well being
Forsake fatalistic thought,
And catch Faith's pleasent zephers
And with Joy be borne aloft.

It's a Matter of FAITH, not FATE
And is Your's to choose today,
Blest are the ones who walk by Faith--
For such 'tis the Heavenly Way!

Amen David...So very true, the journey to realize this was a long one, and I found nothing but peace once I started out with even the first step. This is truly wonderful, thanks......Bonnie

David~

In Matthew 17:20, Jesus says "I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Yes, faith will walk us
closer to the path we need to
be on.
Wonderful thoughts.

Amen David, Truly faith not fate, as you so beautifully captured truth. We see the hate in so many faces and posts, if they only knew! God Bless you much, Marcy

David I feel so redundant when I reply to your work. I want you to know that I'm uplifted by everything you write. For with every stroke of your pen, there is a blessing!

Thank you!
