Hope-Anchored Faith

Hope

In God

Jesus Christ

Keeps my faith* firm

Led by His love’s light

Magnified thru His grace

Nourishing, nurturing me

Opening blessings' outpourings 

Propelled midst prayer service-pursuits

Quests for God’s glory quieting doubts’ qualms.

*Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Beata, I'm so glad you entered this lovely poem in the contest. There is little that gives me more hope than faith. Beautifully written from your heart. Congratulations on your win. There were many wonderful entries to this contest and nearly all of them were difficult to rank. Best wishes, Carolyn
