Faith

You’ll find that I have core beliefs, that are not written in any one book. I believe that Jesus loves me. He’s all around, so please, take a look. He doesn’t give me what I may want, or an answer to every prayer. But he gives me exactly what I need, and the assurance that he’ll always be there. I’ll never worship fine paper, or the ink you’ll find printed on each page. I trust what he puts in my heart, and I’m thankful for his generous wage. He was there when my dear mother died, and he came for my father as well. I’ve always felt his loving hands, every time that I climbed up and fell. This man was not American, he was born far across the sea. He never closed his borders, and he died for both you and me. All of us have an obligation to stand up and do what is right. Whenever evil threatens, that’s when we must go and fight. I’ve heard we should mind our business and watch out for only our own. Would you ever tell that to God, and wished that he left you alone? I don’t care if you’re a city slicker, or a redneck in a chevy or ford. My faith lies in each one of you, and in Jesus, my savior and Lord.

Amen, Mark. A message that needed to be told. A fine Couplet poem has done the trick. Your words are meaningful to many I know, as is your faith in what you know in your heart. Amen Bill

Good one, Mark. I enjoyed it very much. I was reminded, also, that we do not always remember to put what Jesus did for us into practice with our neighbors! You have penned a most important message for all of us, particularly at this Easter time.

Dear Mark, I admire the depth of your faith. The Father and the Son are always there when we ask for help. It may not always arrive the way we expect, but they are listening. Thank you for posting such a meaningful composition.

You need never worry that I won't be there. I know you'll always open your door.
