FAITH If faith were a mountain top many would not attempt To scale the steep slopes for fear of falling If faith were water cascading down those same slopes Many would not attempt to ride the current For fear of drowning in its foam if faith were a little e stream many would claim it not powerful enough to be worthy of their attention though that little stream may have carved a ravine, deeper than the height of the mountain they feared If faith were handed then on a platter, many would Look with a doubtful eye at its validity If faith disguised itself as riches Perhaps many would claim it as possession Why must faith prove itself to the doubtful? Explain itself to the skeptical, Describe itself to the blind Repeat and repeat its hymn of comfort to the grieving When the innocence of a child embraces it With no excuses, no restrictions, no hindrance, No fear or doubt. How can it be that a child has more wisdom More certainty, more conviction and less fear Than those of age who claim to have more experience, more strength, More knowledge, more understanding If there were no faith, we would clamor for it, Demand it, feel the need for it And claim that if only there were faith, we would Climb the highest mountain to attain it. with no fear, no doubt, no hesitancy no questions And we would long to walk in faith beside Christ As in the innocence of a child |

Every time I read this, I copy different lines. You've written so many truths here. We must become as little children... |

How is it that you have so much faith and its equivalent in wisdom, dear Lizzy?...  |

Strong words, Elizabeth. Indeed, it is because any may have/exercise faith that many refuse to. The rewards for those that do exercise faith may not always be witnessed in this realm, but they are no less real. Sad and glorious will be the day when faith is no longer needed for one to know Christ... for all will see, and every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Not soon enough for those glorified through faith... and all too soon for those without. Michael |
