A Living Faith

A Living Faith (sermon excerpt)


Obstacles or problems
Of a conscious existance.
May impede my progress
But it does not decay
The embedded righteousness
Desired within my heart
Nor the sacrifices of my living.

For within every obstacle
Is a reward.
And to every problem
There is a success.
A rose remains a rose
A fountain is still a fountain
And life is still living.

Nothing should be impossible
For it is Thought
That gives life to the mind.
And A Living Faith
Justifies itself
By living today
In tomorrows dreams.

Think in your faith...
Talk in your faith...
See things in your faith...
Listen in your faith...
Learn in your faith...
Walk in your faith...
Live in your Faith.

For nothing binds the mind
But the embryoed hinderance
Of one's own pacified inhabitions.
Which can expose itself
Within your visions.
It causes a canker that exhibits itself
On display until you are consumed.

But the Revelator of all Revelations.
Distinctfully inclines us
To abundantly live life.
Fear cannot live without shame
And the deed of self denial.
Kill it let it not coerse you
For neither can it conquor you.

Reject it for it will argue
Denounce it and it will flee.
Let it neither rape or deplete
Deplore or comply...
Confer or confront....
Neither let it vulgagate or converse......
With the intelligence of your soul.

For you are this world's future
You are A Living Faith...
For the old and the young....
For the weak and the strong....
For the poor and the rich.
For your tomorrow
Is their brighter yesterday.

The inferiority of achievement
Has sometimes been enduced
By our own environments
And even sometimes
By our very own nature.
But still it is
A Living Faith that stands.

So Live in the faith of how you think
Live in the faith of how you talk
Live in the faith of how you see
Live in the faith of how you listen
Live in the faith of what you learn
Live in the faith of how you walk
For you are A Living Faith.
