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!
