A very well-written poem about faith and how it can work in our favour. Faith is not something we can physically see but we can see the results we can expect from having faith.

This is a wonderful faith write filled with positive vibes and good intentions. I loved the line: 'look to the heavens, not to the bed.' We often try and bury our head within when we are troubled. Much enjoyed, love Dolly x

And so we should be aware - sharing this wonderful truth - all over the place. Telling others what Jesus did for us on the cross, how He came to earth for just that purpose. it's amazing to me that He is mindful of us.
Good poem

A very nicely woven poem that strengthens the resolve to keep the Faith.
There is nothing to compare with the goal that Faith points to and when you realize you have it, you thank God for the gift. The picture is as beautiful as the message.

    This is such a beautiful review, it encourages my heart greatly as we're often unaware of how much faith we do really have. It's when we get tested, that we realise its value and we learn to take things by faith. Thank God for faith.
    there's no other way to go but to trust the Lord. That's a wonderful thing because

Hello gudbjorb, a beautiful poem of faith. I especially liked your ending verse:

So when you falter, He'll always be there,
Standing beside you, ever so near,
Faith is a substance mingled with love,
Created for His children by God up above.

(This is so very true.)

Lovely artwork choice. Silky rhyming. A pleasure to read. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Faith a name?
A Word?
A Value?
"I've heard."
But without it?
Where will we go?
Well Done.
....
This read well and Flowed well with no Grammar Issues as well.
...
Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures aligned Perfectly.
Thanks,
Doctor Ricky 1024.
And, have a Blessed weekend.

gudbjorg,

This is really wonderful and sooooo, sooooo true. Faith sustains us. It gives us hope when all the rest of the world fails us. My only negative comment is that your punctuation is a bit off.

I'm sharing your poem below, with my suggestions. You're welcome to take or leave these comments, as you like. *smile*

Faith is divine, It builds up our life.
It teaches us vigour, not pain nor strife.
It makes us much more than ever before,
Facing the future to reach Heaven's shore.

When we feel downcast, get up instead;
Look up to the heavens, not to the bed.
Faith will take us and cause us to stand.
Strong is this warrior at your right hand.

So when you falter, He'll always be there,
Standing beside you, ever so near,
Faith is a substance mingled with love,
Created for His children by God up above.

*

This is beautiful and I really appreciate you sharing it. Blessings today and always --
