Can you believe in something you don’t have faith in?
Must you have faith to believe?
I believe that to believe in good things one must have faith in those things/people/institutions.
Our faith in God, the one true God of creation, the Father of our Savior Jesus Christ and whose Holy Spirit dwells within those who believe, will lead us to the right beliefs as we live on this earth.
FAITH WITHOUT TRUST
As I look back at the miles,
Seeing the tears and the smiles,
Having stirred up so much dust,
Why did I think that I must?
I do believe all that you have for me
And I know that who I am you see,
That you have plans for what I should be.
That you want us to be we.
To one father Jesus asked if he believed,
Believed that his child would be healed and live?
To which the man replied, I believe,
Help me overcome my unbelief.
I don’t know about you,
But that is me.
I have faith that God’s word is true,
That his promises are real.
He has changed me, I am made anew.
I have on my heart his seal.
But there are times I feel left out,
When I have doubt
About what he has planned,
About where with him I stand.
I sometimes wander about.
My faith, what is it
As I try to make it fit
Into the ways of the world
As at night I lay curled,
Curled up in a ball
Waiting for his call.
On one of my good days
We had a talk, God and me.
I had taken the time
To read of his ways.
I think he was pleased
That I had taken the time
And in that time it was me,
It was me that he seized.
He told me that my faith,
Though ever growing,
Would never be what it could
If I didn’t trust.
I need to trust when I am fearful,
I need to trust when I am tearful,
I need to trust in the good times
And when there are no rhymes.
If I truly accept the death of his Son
For my salvation, my redemption,
For his promise of eternity,
Then I need to not just believe.
I need to trust that he
Is in control always,
And in all ways,
No matter what I see.
He loves me,
He blesses me,
And as my trust in
His promises,
His word grows,
My faith will also.

WHAT HAVE I DONE FOR YOU?
There are those days when the sky is blue.
And then there comes that one day
When the sky is filled with clouds of gray.
On that day what have I done for you?
It is easy to talk as through life we walk,
To share the smiles as we walk the miles,
As we walk that mile that once in awhile
Is filled with pain as the gray clouds rain.
It is that mile that I must be aware
That even though I know you are there
That you need more from me.
You need me to help you see.
I have walked that mile alone
When my heart has turned to stone.
I have stumbled along...
