Storms and Faith

Faith is not born in what we know

But in what we believe.
It is the truth that grace exists,
Despite what we perceive.
 
I watched the storm clouds gathering
And fear grew in my heart,
For I knew, if that wild storm hit,
I would be torn apart.
 
My faith was weak, my fear was strong,
Until I saw the light;
My glance touched on a single cloud
Turning the darkness bright.
 
And, when I saw that one bright cloud
Nestled within the storm,
I knew that all hope was not lost,
And I felt my faith form.
 
What I knew really hadn’t changed
From what it used to be,
But my faith had grown strong enough
To make a change in me.

 

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see
