Look closely in the mirror
I want to clearly see
instead an image blurry
lacks much clarity
Intently like a fox
I daily chase the thought
seeking more the truth
“run the race” is what I’m taught
believe what you don’t see
peel back all the lies
so much have you been given
a faith to set you free
Faith is something you are given not something you can learn in a textbook. It is a belief in something you can’t see. Close your eyes and believe in the truth, it will never mislead.
“But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.…”
James 1:23 & 24
“For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.”
1 Corinthians 13:12
