What Is Faith

What is Faith?

Faith is a cool droplet of water on a hot summer day
Faith is a rainbow in the middle of the darkness
Faith is the hope of a moment that hasn't come to be

Faith is the substance of my Lord

For when is it that we grow the closest to our Father?
Is it at the beginning of a joyous time of praise? 
Or is it at the end of a difficult time?
I say faith is the greatest measuring stick of our love for Father
It is like a bubbling oasis in the middle of the desert

What is it that you are hoping for?
Send your petitions to the King of Kings
And He will grant your heart’s desires according to His will
Hope is the substance of things unseen
Hope is the center of His will

"Hope is the substance of things unseen." Yes, this nails it - For most the most difficult to grasp. Thanks for reading my stuff. Love, daver
