Faith is a gift from God and to God. Even our faith comes through God’s building it up in us and filling our hearts with visions of His beauty. Sometimes it is through dark sorrows and trials that we become emptied of all the things that we are clinging to; then, with such Grace and Mercy He gives us His faith to cling to.

“Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity. ”
― Charles H. Spurgeon
YOUR GIFT SO GRAND
By Effie Darlene Barba
As I look back o’er yesterday
So oft I knew not what to pray
Alone I sat in dark despair
Burdened by a load of care
My heart cried forth in agony
My guilt and shame consuming me
You came-Your precious gift so grand
You brought me faith so I can stand
Rivers of life within me flow
Such joy, and hope and love I know
Amazing grace Your love for me
From chains of guilt, I’ve been set free
Glory and Grace so rich, Divine
Into my heart, your light did shine
You caused my blinded eyes to see
My faith in You, You gave to me
A treasure rich and oh so rare
Nothing else could ever compare
And now I know Your love for me
That never fails eternally
To cover me with love and grace
And let’s me see your lovely face
Your beauty then to fill my soul
That by Your Will, I am made whole
“Faith goes up the stairs that love has built and looks out the windows which hope has opened.”― Charles H. Spurgeon
