Where is our faith?

Everyone has a God-given ability to trust in and discern the healing goodness of the Divine, as this poem highlights.

We all have faith in something.
Is it faith that removes mountains
(whatever obstacles) – trust
in God, good, that won’t budge?

Or,
is it clinching unbelief that
obscures the doors to possibility?

Faith that all good is possible flows
from God, divine Love, to everyone.
It comes gently, unfalteringly to thought,
like morning light to a waking eye,
an unquenchable flame in darkness,
a cairn in a pathless land,
a bridge over torrents.

Faith catches the fresh reality of God’s
limitless love for us as sons and daughters,
tangible even in misted moments. Then,
like a river, faith merges into an ocean
of spiritual light and we grasp Love’s
tenderness and care – fathomless and
unquestionable – opening doors to healing.
