Belief

Hi all,

Just wanted to share a poem that I wrote today based on today's sermon. I really felt convicted during the sermon and wanted to share this with the group. It is entitled Belief.

Belief

Is is a story or do you believe?

Is it merely a fairy tale or a living non-fiction moving within us?

Is is stirring, breathing within us?

Do you believe or do you BELIEVE?

Where do you go when your world crumbles?

Who are you when you fall?

Are you angry when you are hurt, when you are broken?

Do you believe or do you BELIEVE?

Do you remember Him in times of suffering?

Do you still feel Him when you are in pain?

Can you still hear His voice when you feel lost?

Do you believe or do you BELIEVE?

Do you know he cries when you cry?

Do you know he suffers when you suffer?

Do you know he's still there for you when you feel abandoned?

Do you believe or do you BELIEVE?

Lord, give me the courage to believe in you, the ability to trust you when I can't see clearly and when I feel abandoned. Allow me to feel your presence and draw on your love as my strength. Father, give me the power to believe.
