Aspects of Faith

[Biggus]

WHERE DO YOU STAND?

Just standing in a palace doesn’t make you a Tsar
Any more than standing in a garage makes you a car
It doesn’t make you a cook if you stand in a kitchen
So just going to church doesn't make you a Christian

FAITH IS LIKE # 1

Faith is like electricity
You can’t see its traits
But you can see the light
That it generates

THE LOVE OF CHRIST

The love of Christ
Unconditional, pure
Deeply felt love
That doth endure

FAITH IS LIKE # 2

Faith is like electricity
You can’t see it
But you can see the light
That emanates from it

JESUS

He travels the four winds
He is everywhere.
He is an ever present force
He is the one who cares

He is our strength
He is with us from the start
He gives us joy
He lives in our hearts

He is our hope
His heart is full of love
He repairs us
He is love

Jesus is the King of Kings
Who died for us
On that cross of pain
To cleanse us

THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING THERE

Thank you Lord for being there
And bathing us in your blessed care
Thank you for all your blessings
And understanding my transgressing
Thank you for being the one
Who watches over my three sons
And my most wonderful wife
Thank you for being in my life

YESHUA (JESUS)

Yeshua, you are
Our hope of salvation
Dying for us
Our hope of glory
Living in us

Yeshua, you are
Our hope for the future
Living for you
Our hope for redemption
Alive in you

"This is my commandment,
that ye love one another
as I have loved you." John 15:12

[PrinceMyshkin]

In place of faith
I have hope.

In place of certainty
I have questions.

While I am not a Christian, a believer, or a religious person in the strictest sense I still love reading good poetry about faith. Afterall, faith is such a crucial aspect in everyone's life whether they choose to accept it, reject, and where to put it either way. I think these pieces are capture faith at its best: reverent, wondrous, appreciative, thankful, without being didactic in the least bit. I especially appreciate the first one which, besides the lovely rhyme and turn of phrase, speaks strongly to both sides.

Thank you all

faith is when you contemplate the truth which your inner self can witness to... and all the rest is wonder and wandering in the hills of moving sands... and your thoughts, soaked in poetry, are inspiring, honest, committed... Thanks, I love your aspects of faith - Bar
