Be Sure
By: the iHope Poet

To trust, a thing of hope in lifted burden,
of turning not towards the paths behind.
When trusting, cares may still arise in number,
but as we move in faith the doubts subside.

To trust, you choose to love before you fear them.
You choose to look inside them very first.
Then with those open eyes you're filled with vision
of how the best in them defeats their worst.

We trust God; by so doing, He can change us.
With trust will come a strength fit to endure,
to carry through, while lifting those around us.
And loving them will make our trusting sure.

The Limits of Mortality

Agency
By: the iHope Poet

Mortality's a raging sea
Because God gave us agency.
And though we cannot part the waves,
We may choose Christ to pave our way;
And help us walk amidst the storm,
As tall and calm as He performed.
For God, He gave us agency,
So let us brave the raging sea.

Couldn't, Wouldn't
By: the iHope Poet

I don't know how to make you see,
I don't.
I taught you all that I believe,
and rushed to calm you anxious pleas.
Yet, after all I try to do, you don't.

God knows how to make you see,
but won't.
His love's the source of all belief,
His word commands both land and sea,
and yet, He'll wait for you, because
you won't.
