True Faith Loves The Giver
True faith in God isn't based on the miraculous
nor does it always need a sign from above.
For true faith still believes He's extraordinarily good
on the basis of His pure, sovereign love.
True faith doesn't require that God always move
in ways that are spectacular and grand.
For true faith sees the value of everyday holiness
..just walking with Him hand in hand.
True faith still believes in His omnipotent power
when He answers "no" to a prayer.
For true faith will trust that He always knows best
and will rest in the fact that He cares.
True faith doesn't demand God make a rescue
every time life puts them in a difficult place.
For true faith has found it's the best school to attend
to learn first-hand of His rich, awesome grace.
True faith will enjoy when God does the spectacular
and will see great miracles with spiritual sight.
And true faith will be blessed when God answers "yes"
or saves them from a difficult fight.
But true faith won't trust God with conditions laid out
yet truly believes Him no matter the hour.
For true faith loves the Giver much more than blessings
and more than any display of His power.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
