POEM #7 FAITH
FAITH IS A MUST A KIND OF BLIND TRUST IT HAS A POWER FAR BEYOND US AND WHEN WE SEEK GOD IT’S A PRIMARY MUST,
IF WE FAIL TO BELIEVE WHAT CAN’T BE HELD IN THE HAND THEN HOW CAN WE BELIEVE IN OURSELVES OR GOD’S PLAN,
WHEN I WAS A CHILD I’D DREAM I COULD FLY WELL I’D GET UP SO HIGH BECOME FEARFUL AND CRY THEN I’D FALL FROM THE SKY,
I DIDN’T REALIZE THEN IT WAS A LESSON IN FAITH UNTILL I READ ABOUT PETER AND HIS WALK ON THE LAKE, THE DECISIONS WE MAKE AND THE PATHS THAT WE TAKE ARE TRANSFORMED INTO MIACLES WHEN THEY’RE DRIVEN BY FAITH,
IT’S NOT ALWAYS EASY TO STAND FAST AND BELIEVE THAT THIS FORCE OUT OF NOWHERE WOULD YOUR TROUBLES RELIEVE, IN FACT TO KEEP YOU FROM FAITH IS HOW SATAN DECEIVES SO YOU MAINTAIN YOUR FOCUS ON YOUR PROBLEMS AND GRIEVE,
LET US PRAY TO GOD ALWAYS TO STRENGTHEN OUR FAITH TO GET RID OF OUR DOUBTS AND PUT TRUST IN THEIR PLACE, IT’S ESPECIALLY HARD FOR AN ADDICT TO FACE WHEN ALL THAT THEY FEEL IS PAIN AND DISGRACE, ABOUT THIRTY YEARS I SPENT IN THAT PLACE,
FROM MY KNEES I CRIED FOR A GOOD SEVERAL DAYS AS GOD WORKED TO CLEANSE ME FROM THE DRUGS AND THE HAZE TILL ONE DAY I FELT JOY AND WAS TRULY AMAZED,
THAT WAS THE BIRTHDAY OF THE NEW FAITH I FOUND WHEN I STARTED TO NOTICE GOD’S WORK ALL AROUND, THE SUNRISE AND SUNSETS SEEMED SO PROFOUND AS THEY WARMED AND EMBRACED ME FROM MY HEAD TO THE GROUND, IT WAS THE LORD I HAD FOUND.
