The Paradox Of Faith

Faith is the power to move mountains;
reality brought forth by the mind;
living waters flow from God’s fountains;
the rivers of life; defined.

Faith is the Master’s second greatest gift;
the creation of life; his first;
lacking belief in God; all faith is bereft;
over faith; we hunger and thirst.

Is faith the gift; we have yet to receive;
mountains await the answer;
a paradox of faith is the power to believe,
allowing us to cure every cancer.

As the consequence of sin; doubt enters in;
and all faith begins as a thread;
good works nourish all faith, from within;
and faith; without works is dead.

Many spend their lives; Scriptures, viewing;
for they simply don’t understand;
faith doesn’t come by waiting; only, doing;
“Love thy neighbor,” is God’s command.

We inhale power when we love all others;
always give more; than you receive;
life is a congregation of sisters and brothers;
we grow every hour; when we believe.

It’s said, “Put your money, where your mouth is;
as though, only money speaks truth;
yet, all things, including money; are His;
and our lack of faith is the proof.
