From Hebrews 11:1-3:  “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.  Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval.  By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.”

Faith fills assurance

Light brightens day’s hope

What’s seen and unseen?

Love viewed through God’s scope

Faith moves through Scripture

Testaments make clear

Witness Abraham

Hope waits, then appears

Faith grows, trusting God

Hope’s great centerpiece

Foundations built strong

Life of blessed peace

Faith matures with time

God’s perfection reigns

His Word guides with truth

Hope makes lifelong gains

Faith’s hope, joined as one

Journey’s promised land

God forever praised

Mercy’s steady hand

From the words of American pastor and Christian writer, Warren Wiersbe:  “Love increases our faith, and when we have faith and love, we will have hope.”
