Dear Amahra, Thank you so much for your rating and review, recognising the key place faith plays in our lives. I appreciate it very much.
Comment from Faith Williams
The line, 'Faith is not measured by what you see,' stood out to me because so often we look with our eyes and not with our hearts.
The other line that stood out to me was, 'Faith knows not what the future holds, but trusts as God that future unfolds.' I think as humans we think that we need to understand everything that is happening in us, our lives, the world, but God only ever asks for our trust. We think that because we don't understand, we cannot trust.
Thank you for sharing your lovely and thought-provoking poem. Best wishes in the contest.

This is a well written poetic call to discipline and preaching. It shows what faith is and does.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Comment from ExperiencingLiphe
Faith is something I struggle with, though not as much throughout the years. I tell people I have a real with God because we have our fights and I storm out and do the silent treatment for awhile. It's definitely a learning experience with faith. Great job.

Thank you so much for your review and rating. Someone once told me something that has stuck with me: Faith comes. It grows by hearing the Word of God. A frank, honest relationship with God will always win out in the end. You'll be surprised how it seems to sneak up on you just when you need it!
Comment from John Ciarmello
This is an excellent entry for the contest. A strong faith in God is all anyone could ask for, along with the diligence to do things right and stay on course. An enjoyable read. Best JohnC
