Cade Smith Poet Free verse

Faith

Faith is not a blind belief
But a trust in something unseen
Faith is not a wishful thinking
But a hope in something real

Faith is not a passive acceptance
But an active engagement
Faith is not a rigid dogma
But a living relationship

Faith is not a burden to bear
But a gift to receive
Faith is not a weakness to hide
But a strength to share

Faith is not a solo journey
But a communal adventure
Faith is not a destination to reach
But a path to follow

I Am Anaya June 4, 2023 at 10:24 AM Congratulations on POTD Cade Smith! Faith is the substance or assurance of things we hope for, but have not yet received, and it grows ever so stronger as we grow older. I like your free verse style; you have a marvelous formula. G'Day to you~ I Am Anaya

Stephan McBride June 3, 2023 at 9:52 AM Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:1?-?2?, ?6 NIV Faith comes from the indwelling spirit we now have access to, love your poem, Big welcome to poetry soup
