Question: Is this the real vitamin pill or a placebo!?
What if faith spoke!?
A lot is asked, suppositions given
treatises delivered, scripture quoted
with but a single word, one syllable…
faith!.
Ubiquitous, clichéd, indulgent too,
ringing incessantly from pulpits
this word carries much of mankind
on a whim: “Just have faith, my son!”
And the doubters!? Yes, the Thomases!?
Damned they are according to some!.
Prayed for by others, even burned!.
“Oh ye of little faith…” Repent!?
But if faith could speak, extend its hand,
would all come to see it work!?
Would we then, at last forever know!?
Or would we not want to know!?
Perhaps the mystery and answers
are best kept hidden…
behind but a single word,
this word called faith!.

I suppose without Faith this world would fall into itself!. People must believe in this little word Faith, because without it, they would have to perhaps have to deal with the fact that maybe everything isn't as wonderful as faith would make it out too be!. People are ruled by faith, its keeps them running--without it they would fall apart and cease to exist!. Such a powerful word--FaithWww@QuestionHome@Com
"Keep the faith"is an easy thing
to do, if one believes!.
"Keep the trust" is another thing!.
"We are not doubting God will do His best for us,
we are wondering how painful His best will be!." C!.S!. Lewis
