No Doubt Greater

by John Herlihy

 

No doubt greater,

Than the doubt of one’s faith.

No loss greater,

Than the loss of one’s faith.

No strength stronger,

Than the strength of one’s faith.

No belief more believable,

Than the belief in one’s faith.

No trust greater,

Than the trust in one’s faith.

No confidence more confident,

Than the confidence in one’s faith.

Nothing more visible,

Than the visibility of one’s faith.

No doubt darker,

Than the darkness of one’s faith.

No light greater,

Than the light of one’s faith.

 

Faith is the basis of things hoped for,

The evidence of things not seen.

(Hebrews 11:1)

I DO BELIEVE THIS. AS FOR ME... THERE IS NO DOUBT GREATER THAN TO DOUBT GOD. AND THAT IS WHAT IT MEANS TO DOUBT FAITH...FOR FAITH IS THE 'GLUE' WHICH KEEPS US CONNECTED TO GOD. THE WORD OF GOD SAYS, WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD. AMEN. I LOVED THIS, ENTIRELY. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Your poem reminds me of what is often referred to as a doubting Thomas (from the Bible story).

When we place our faith in something, we trust it, and believe that it will be as it's supposed to be. But those who place their faith in a higher, directing entity, are probably the most deceived…just puppets to it.

I placed my faith in trusting that most of my fellow travelers will be kind and good to me. I trust in scientific principles, proven over time to be true. I do not trust ignorant rejection of these scientific truths in favor of short term personal gain.

There's a lot of wisdom in this poem. Faith is and isn't all you spoke of here.
