By Faith

We walk by faith and not by sight.
Our God is with us day and night.
If we believe! If we believe,
The gift of life we shall receive.

Within the small, within the large,
The God of all, the one in charge,
Is there to guide us all the way.
Deny Him not another day.

When the barbed shaft of pain strikes through,
Of disappointmen, sadness too,
The God of all with tender care
Will make our sorrow His to bear.

A faith as to a mustard seed,
The Bible says is all we need.
When that small seed shall start to grow,
Joy of belief, we'll come to know.

I had to swallow so hard to get through this...it is beautiful, and I feel so blessed to be able to read. If I couldn't read what would I do? Lord knows reading words like these are the things that make life so much more bareable, and much much richer!!!! Thank you for sharing all your words.

Thank you Sharon Rose. I saw another poem and it started my thought process. I think that is how we all grow. Love, Joyce

We walk by faith and not by sight.
Our God is with us day and night.
If we believe! If we believe,
The gift of life we shall receive.

And what a gift He has given us. All we need do is open our hearts a teeny, tiny crack and His Glory floods in.

Beautifully written sentiments ...

Hugs, Marti
