Faith (bible study)

Faith extends beyond belief to include confidence about something unseen, such as the achievement of God's will. Faith goes beyond materialism to include beneficial use of the underlying unseen reality. The opposite of faith is worry.



Faith is more than mere thought, emotion, and belief. Faith elevates one's being, while belief is limited to a mental state or emotion. Faith implies a causal role by the believer in an outcome, or in overcoming a personal fear. Faith also implies advancement or accomplishment of something good, while mere belief does not achieve by itself.

The importance of faith logically follows from the existence of God, as explained in Luke 17:7-10 (merely doing as told is not enough - "We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty."). God went beyond His duty, obviously, and would prefer His creation to do likewise. That requires faith.

Tender kisses

Tender kisses
A heart warming gift

Stop doubting

Stop doubting yourself
Start believing in yourself
Stop holding yourself back
Start letting yourself fly

For there is no telling
To what great heights you can achieve
If you never try

Expose yourself to me

Expose yourself to me
Share with me  your hopes
Share with me your dreams
Your joys
Your thoughts

Expose yourself to me
Let me know the real you
No holding back
No hiding

Expose yourself to me
Share with me your love
Your heartbeat
My heartbeat
Beating as one
In tune with all creation

Blank page

My life is a blank page
Help me fill it with
Your love and devotion

Jesus

Jesus you're my
Lord and savior
I will praise you
Forever and ever
I'm no longer lonely
For you gave a family
To share my love
Til the end of time

I Miss you

I say I miss you
You say you miss me to
Like it's some sort of game

You don't understand
You most likely never will

The longer we are apart
A little piece of me dies
The longer we are apart
A part of me fades away
