It Is Faith
I am often challenged to consider my small level of faith when I read stories such as the one below:
Since 1990, Yuhuan Church’s Chengguang Branch has carried on with its ministry in this coastal city of Zhejiang province. In 1997, four buildings were constructed to host church functions. Even though gathering together was banned in 2020, many believers continued to assemble for smaller scale meetings.
On Sunday, February 12th, the church was raided by governmental workers. During the raid, three church leaders were taken away for questioning before being released later that day. However, their congregational meeting space was permanently sealed, and all the Bibles and hymn books found on the premises were confiscated. Pray for our persecuted Christian family.
“IT IS FAITH” BY Edgar A. Guest
It is faith that bridges the land of breath
To the realms of the souls departed,
That comforts the living in days of death,
And strengthens the heavy-hearted.
It is faith in his dreams that keeps a man
Face front to the odds about him,
And he shall conquer who thinks he can,
In spite of the throngs who doubt him.
Each must stand in the court of life
And pass through the hours of trial;
He shall tested by the rules of strife,
And tried for his self-denial.
Time shall bruise his soul with the loss of friends,
And frighten him with disaster,
But he shall find when the anguish ends
That of all things faith is master.
So keep your faith in the God above,
And faith in the righteous truth,
It shall bring you back to the absent love,
And the joys of a vanished youth.
You shall smile once more when your tears are dried,
Meet trouble and swiftly rout it.
For faith is the strength of the soul inside,
And lost is the man without it.
