(for Charles Godwin)
After I Peter 1:3-9
You haven’t seen him, yet
you love him.
You haven’t seen him, yet
you believe in him.
You haven’t seen him, yet
you rejoice in him.
You haven’t seen him, yet
you fill with glory.
And the result, the endpoint,
the outcome of all this,
the outcome of your faith,
the outcome is salvation.
Our faith is not
our achievements;
our faith is the confidence
in God’s achievements.
