Having Faith

Having Faith IS NOT to simply believe

Having Faith IS to know absolutely.

Without a hope, or a wish, or a want

To know everything you need,

Will come when you need it, and

Will be there within the right time.

Having Faith IS NOT greedy or boastful

Having Faith IS generous and kind.

Without seeking praise, or glory, or honor

To recognize the needs of others, and

To give freely of whatever is needed

Whether possessions, or labor, or time.

Having Faith IS NOT erratic or anxious

Having Faith IS patient and steadfast.

Without a rush, or a swerve, or a detour

To stay sturdy on treacherous ground

When the world crashes in from the outside

To know that guidance always comes from within.

Having Faith IS NOT pompous preaching

Having Faith IS an honest example

Without judgment, or insult, or ridicule

To accept other's beliefs without prejudice

And not compromise yours in the process

Standing firm in what is right and not wrong

Having Faith IS NOT organized religion...

Having Faith IS a Divine bond to the Soul.
