Without Faith

“  6And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”  Heb 11:6 NIV

Without faith, 
It is impossible to please God above.
Without faith we cannot show His glory,
Or demonstrate His love.
Without faith, we call God a liar.
For we fail to accept the gift,
Given in love to us prior.	
	
Without faith we have no hope
For a future that is better;
A future without sin—
Moulded by our Creator.
All pain and suffering ended;
Satan’s power completely lost,
Because of salvation by faith,
God’s sacrifice of great cost.	
	
Faith should be the essence
Of everything we do;
Believing God’s power—
Is total and true.
For He controls our destiny,
When we lay it in His hands.
There’s no room for fear;
No need for reprimands.	
	
Without faith there’s no future—
For God is not pleased.
Faith demonstrates His existence;
His glory to be released.
Without faith we cannot witness;
Tell others of His love
For faith is the essence
Of redemption from above.

Very very true ... If i have great faith in seeing his face, as healing i ask, it does take place, a shuddering, split second view, neuralgia pain is gone, whew! if my faith in him is, whole, as he repairs my very soul, great Jesus does come through, a healing point of view, too right... thank you Maureen...i agree with thee, in all you do...
