Eve Roper Poet Haibun

Giving Me Hope and Faith

I once was childlike, pure of thought. I tasted and opened my eyes to the world; became flesh. Within myself, I occasionally lose all aspects of life. In doing so, my thoughts diverge from common sense, to irretrievable loss as past happiness. Definite conceptual knowledge of reality and an obedient witness inspired by God's word. Love showed me the purest joy; a yearning thirst willing to attain. Without love in my world, there is no world, but sadness and pain, a non-existing life. Without faith, how do I have hope? Love makes me feel excitement within my frame. The presence of the Holy Spirit, giving me hope and faith. Regaining my sight, seeing the world through the eyes of a child.


through his eyes we are
eternally his children-
he sees our life needs

Joanna Daniel July 18, 2020 at 1:57 AM So true, the faith of a child is something adorable, no wonder our Lord tells us to have such a faith!

James Long July 18, 2020 at 12:56 AM "Withholding nothing is the true cost of freedom!" Children understand this effort. All before, having, human will, their first lie, taught to them, through fear drives them farther, and farther away from this truth. Why, like this truth is certain within all of us; to protect them, we must share this with them; teaching them to consistently, and continuously, support this within everyone, by surrendering this away to them, to all life. "Withholding nothing is the true cost of freedom!"
