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
