I believe… He is wise – He is strong He knows my heart and my soul He’ll love me my whole lifelong His light shining down makes me whole He is joy and He is peace He abides in love and inspires hope His eternal kindness will never cease He brings comfort so I can cope He is life – He is truth His word provides solutions He assured me in my youth He whispers faithful contributions He is the prayer that I never prayed Giving me promises through grace He inspires courage that won’t dissuade His gifts are eternal – heaven’s embrace He is the promise that I’ll never break He opens His palm and there I stand Inside His hand is where I will awake Whenever dreams aren’t what I planned He is my life – He abides in my prayers Forever generous with His gentle smile He eases my fears and wipes away tears Silences my doubts – goes the extra mile He is the reason that I know what it means To breathe in forgiveness – exhale mercy With a God so amazing, there are no in-betweens No doubts or fears, no worry or controversy With a God this good, there is no giving in To the disillusionment, despair – shadows With Him, there is a light that destroys sin Relieves and reassures in hues that enclose… Heart and soul – in the promise of a love That is alive – shining down from above!

(Mark 9: 14-29) Gina! This is an astounding write! I’m making it a fave so I may read it of ten. I am too a Believer, as you know, but I pray. “Help my unbelief,” but too often my ill health causes fear & worry needing me to call out to Him who will hold me up in restored peace. How completely we love Him. Thank you, Gina! xoxo

Your deep faith shines through every line. "He is the reason that I know what it means/ To breathe in forgiveness – exhale mercy." Love these lines, Gina ! Stay secure in his hands like a trusting baby!
