What I Know About Faith and Love

What I Know About Faith and Love

A Poem by Erin Winter
"

I was given a task at my recent Bible study, and I'm sharing a little portion of what I've found in the form of a poem.

"
Jesus loves me
This I know
For the Bible
Tells me so.
But if lies deceive,
How can we trust?
If truth is truthful,
Then we must.
It all comes down
To matter of faith,
If trust is to be
Found or erased.
Jesus said that
Those who love
Tell the truth
To the stars above.
Any who wish to follow Him
Must show the Truth
In how they live.
Another way to always tell
Is to look at those who claim to forgive.
Lies are born,
they're bred to hide.
To fool where they fall,
To ruin anyone's lives.
So how to see truth,
Past the dark?
You shine a light
Into it's heart.
You look with love,
With Jesus's eyes,
Forgiving those who
With deception hide.
It all comes down to a matter of trust
In Jesus's love for all of us.
For if everything you could see is a lie,
Faith is a challenge to keep alive.
But trust in God, know He is true.
And He would never lie to you.
If you think me false then look to this!
The proof lies in the words we say,
On each and every glorious day,
In the One who lives who died to save,
Who gave up all to show the way.
So if you're doubting trust to this:
The one who loves would never lie
His truthful words will never die.
If you're believing in the lies,
Trust in the One who lives on high.
