The many things our eyes can’t see, many believe to be pure fantasy. <br />There will be scoffers in our day, for this is what The Word does say. <br />Where is this God that you proclaim, for everything remains the same? <br />These proud men refuse to believe in something that they can not see. <br />Bold and arrogant are these men, and by God, they will be condemned. <br /> <br />These empty fools are so aloof; continue to insist on seeing proof. <br />However, with proof as a rule, faith my friend, becomes impossible. <br />And the righteous will live by faith, as we long to see Christ’s face. <br />To rise above the wayward fool, Faith in your heart, indeed must rule. <br />True Faith for both you and me, is Hope in The One we can not see. <br /> <br />Thomas would not believe, until he touched what his eyes could see. <br />Thomas put his hand in Christ’s side and his eyes were opened wide, <br />He replied, “My Lord and my God! ” and Christ said to him with a nod, <br />“You have seen and believed, blessed are men who don’t and believe.” <br /> <br />Our faith in God is more you see, than waiting on earth for Eternity. <br />God does things throughout the day, that men can not explain away. <br />How can their doubt remain, when God does what they can’t explain? <br />They use the word coincidence, when there is no verifiable evidence. <br />Friend, faith gives you security that leads you safely to Eternity. <br /> <br />I know that my Redeemer lives, and He has for you new life to give, <br />With new life, when you believe, He gives you eyes so you can see, <br />See beyond this fallen earth, through the Grace of this New Birth. <br />With new sight you get Christ’s mind, to leave you old life behind. <br />And as you grow you will see, that our only True Hope is in Eternity. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©12/2004)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/believing-the-unseen/
