The Stretch Called Faith

I finally feel relaxed 
It has been a long time coming
I finally get to the point that I can't take it no more 
Don't want to deal with it any more
Take it or leave it - no more
That was my attitude
And I found that God meets me there
As I can no longer go any longer
This long stretched road
That we call "faith"
I was at a point where I told God 
"Put up or shut up"
And was beginning to doubt His abilities
I believe that God directs everything
And He will lead you through so many turns
Work you like there is no tomorrow
Wear you out
Till you can no longer take it
He will decide
What and when He will do
He will work you my friend
Whatever that you need work with
What you need work on is different from what He works on others
So I can't tell you
What to look for
But only tell you
Rest assured
He will never give you more than what you can take
But only when you get to that point
Ha, tired?

Faith is precious; it cannot be taken for granted; we have to work on it and give it the merit it deserves. Lovely write and very well expressed, Toquyen. // paul

What a wonderful surprise to see a longer poem such as this on faith and God! Lovely my dear! God knows everything before we do and has prepared us for everything that will come in our way! We just have not to doubt HIS wisdom but to submit our will to HIS and He without fail will provide us with all we need! Wonderful poem. I loved it!
