Words and deeds

After Romans 4

Words and deeds

cast aside by faith

achievements cast aside

by faith

accomplishments cast aside

by faith

all cast aside, meaningless

without faith, a chasing

after the wind. Without faith

we are nothing. With faith

we are everything.

The difference is not us.

Words and deeds flow from faith

and not the reverse because

faith is the alpha and omega

faith is the cornerstone

faith is the impetus

faith is the original impulse

for all that follows

the mustard seed for all

that grows

and it is given

it is planted.
