strength of faith is not about the ritualistic toning of our legs
squatting up and down the pew, it is about sacrificing our seat for
others. strength of faith is not about dressing our best nor adorning
our body with the finest of filigree, for god created us naked.
strength of faith is not about our eyes, our nose, our ears, our
mouth, our mind, our heart. with these, we judge. strength of faith
is all about our hands~ the hand that gives, the hand that serves,
the hand that comforts , the hand that helps..

I am really in awe of your words. Such powerful thoughts and so true.
Nice to see you posting your thoughts again Kris.
Best wishes, Eileen

Strength of faith is all you mentioned and more. Your words grow more powerful with each poem and your poems grow more powerful with each post. Strength of faith also means you stay humble in spite of the accolades.

Such a worthy message. It is so uplifting when others produce pieces like this. With the state of the World it can often feel like there aren’t many people who value what is truely worthwhile.

The strength of simple faith cannot be underestimated.
I’m not religious in the least – but I believe in faith, and the strength of human belief.
I like the piece very much! Simple, clear, and direct.

tq zq..
tq duncancleary for liking my post..
I like the fact that your poem does not always rhyme..the thought is more important
tq maitreyee. more to thoughts than poem..
tq jagring for liking..
and the hands that welcome grace even if it doesn’t look like it. very interesting poem 🙂
tq bended..
True sentiments.
tq tiger..
Very good.
tq just sayin..
Very thoughtful write… I think of friendship when I read this, but the word is so belittled nowadays compared to fame, fortune, power, basically all strong words. But strength of faith has a very fine resonance and not preachy. Thank you
thanks leonardo.. its just my thoughts and how i share it.. not meant to be a lesson or sermon..
How beautiful this is. How very true! I’m going to print this and put on my bathroom mirror! I love it!!!!
tq for your enthusiasm and for liking this posting~L? i would appreciate if you could kindly observe The Oldstrong’s comments above and observe accordingly if you dont mind….
I agree, being good to people, esp those who need it, is more important than going to pray. {Amen to that: LOL}
tq zongrik.. if that is how you put it..
You said it
-faith without works is dead.
Thoughtfully spoken.
tq ector..
How true, how true.
Larry
tq larry..
Touching. How true it is, but the thoughts are easily forgotten. Thanks for carving out the message 🙂

So true… I think that our deeds are much more important for God than worshiping physical signs of faith.
