Even when He is silent.
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see."
Hebrews 11:1
The following is a poem written during WW2, on the wall of a cellar, by an unknown Jew in Cologne during the holocausts.
"I believe in the sun
even when it is not shining
And I believe in love,
even when there's no one there.
And I believe in God,
even when he is silent.
I believe through any trial,
there is always a way
But sometimes in this suffering
and hopeless despair
My heart cries for shelter,
to know someone's there
But a voice rises within me, saying hold on
my child, I'll give you strength,
I'll give you hope. Just stay a little while.
I believe in the sun
even when it is not shining
And I believe in love
even when there's no one there
But I believe in God
even when he is silent
I believe through any trial
there is always a way.
May there someday be sunshine
May there someday be happiness
May there someday be love
May there someday be peace…."
Almost eighty years later these words are still true.
Do you believe this?
Please think about it.
