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

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

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
