Faith is

After 2 Corinthians 6:3-13

It’s not a warm electric blanket

she said it’s the cross

it’s troubles and hardships,

he said it’s beatings and prison,

it’s insults and taunts

it’s watching your reputation

trashed it’s being considered

an imposter it’s being dishonored

and lied about it’s sorrow

and poverty it’s ridicule

it’s having nothing it’s also

glory and encouragement it’s

protection and endurance it’s

understanding and purity it’s

kindness and patience it’s

rejoicing and righteousness it’s

possessing everything

it’s life the only way life

makes sense it’s rebirth

it’s salvation it’s the rock
