A brief treatise on the struggle to hold onto ones faith
On Faith by Brenda Henderson
Faith Poetry Contest contest entry

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen". (Hebrews 11:1)

But no one tells you how to navigate or manage the things in between.

You know that place, that oh too tight space between the manifestation of hope and the dream.

That very difficult case that I refer to here as the in between.

Where hope gets dashed; ideals get plundered and all our dreams rumble and tumble around;

You know the place between the life of the pauper and the receiving of the crown.

But I guess that's what this life of faith is all about.

This Christian walk a daily struggle to overcome the winds of doubt.

When situations and circumstances collide.

Where fear rages and attacks; where the secret petitions of our hearts abide.

But for believers it is where Love rules and Faith's standard raises the tide.
