Faith Number Two 2017

“Forsaking All, I Trust Him,” Worked as an acrostic for FAITH Until of late, some of God’s children Smile and say, “Forsaking All I Trust Her,” I have no personal beef with that, but I cannot concur - Myself, a non-Caucasian, I was never part of the ruling gender: I have no unction to sanction modification of the Word re. patriarchal plunder. Theology says gratitude toward God is a “sacrifice” that pleases Him > For all that we have belongs to God, except mind, emotions, and will > So, here is what grows faith, the essential step in knowing the LORD: F is for Fearlessness. “Perfect love casts out fear,” John's epistle said; A is for Adoration. Adore and love the LORD even as questions linger; I is for Introspection. Have I loved my neighbor? Am I a true follower? T is for Truthfulness. Am I truthful to God, to myself, to the stranger? H is a double-sided coin, Heaven and Hell. Recall Pascal’s wager. END © Anil Deo, 03272017
