FAITH

“FAITH”

The great playwright George Bernard Shaw
Wrote a play called
Pygmalion or My Fair Lady

It was about a teacher
Transforming a woman
From a street woman
To a socialite woman
Within 6 months

Why do people
Love this story
What is the fascination

It is
Because we dream
That the impossible
Will happen for us too

But for us
The dream has
Already come true
We are
Children of God

We have
The promise
Of eternal life
If we build
A personal relationship with our God

And we want
To know God

But we will never know God
By listening to what someone else has said
Or by reading what
Someone else has wrote

We will
Only know God by faith
And by finding God
In the deep darkness
Of our own soul

And lastly
We all want to be loved
And by faith
We know that God
Is madly in love with us
And by faith
We know that his love
For us
Is eternal and unchanging

So like Eliza Doolittle
We have been changed

Changed to find a serenity and peace
In God’s love
So we can finally say
Thank you God
Thank you for loving me/us
