People often think of faith
In times of trouble and hopelessness.
Faith requires no fear or carelessness.
But your strengths will take away
your doubts and fill up your tray
with enthusiasm and foresights.
Peace will bring serenity.
Faith brings dreams to reality.
Hurry! Activate your faith.
Time is of the essence
Create your own renaissance
Hurry! Drop your fear.
So, what is faith?
Faith is when your popularity fades,
Faith is when your friend forsakes.
Tell me more. What is faith?
Faith is when your crew goes astray
When the wind of fear comes our way.
When the masks are removed
There is only the fearful.
There is only the faithful.
Faith is doing the right thing,
In the dark when nobody sees nothing.
Faith often brings no fanfare.
Like the walls of Jericho,
Your faith will defeat the warfare
and liberate you if you dare.
Now that I have told you my viewpoint,
Are you motivated by faith or fear?
What is your position or your point?
