What We Cannot See

The skeptics may ponder the plausibility
of believing in what we cannot see.
To know in our hearts there is a God above,
To be certain because we have seen His love.
To study the Bible and believe in the Word,
To utter a prayer knowing it will be heard.
To believe in a Great Physician who can cure every ill
without the use of a wonder drug or a powerful pill.
To know He is our Father. We’re children of His.
And our short lives on earth isn’t all that there is.
To believe His Son Jesus died on a cross to win
our eternal home in heaven and forgiveness of sin.
To have faith in the Lord we love and adore,
Looking forward to all that Heaven will be, and more.

"What We Cannot See," - - - That's Faith ! This poetry chronicles some wonder truths about our Savior. How wonderful to "know" Him. This is typical of the wonderful writings you are noted for ! I'm glad you have posted another. I always look forward to your material. Colan

A beautiful, spiritual write, Lanette! Jesus said that those who believed without seeing Him would be blessed. That's where faith comes in. Good work! Love, Kim
