You still love him

(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.
