Faith Hope and Love

by

Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope, and love—yet love surpasses them all.[a] So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which you run.(The passion)

Faith Hope and Love

Faith love and hope
Three horsemen riding
through my life
Triumphant, triumvirate
Defeated unless there is;
Someone to trust in
Someone I love deeply
Someone to hope with;
Faith, love and hope
Don’t belong to me
They are between us
Shared in a poem
Or in a longing gaze
Or that special word
Or a soft touch;
Faith hope and love
Belong in understanding
Shared wistfully, knowing
they can never be satisfied
Holding disappointment
Cherishing this moment
that we hold together.

In the Psalms I have discovered firsthand some of the rawness and pain experienced by the Psalmist. This ebook is the first 40 Psalms that I have put in my own words. They are a reflection of what was written by the original writer and then brought to our world today. They reflect many of the themes that are common to discouraged, depressed, anxious, fearful people. At times some or all of these things have been true for me. I have used some of these experience and cried out with the Psalmist in my writing.

One definition of found poetry is, “it’s the literary version of a collage”. In finding these Psalms I have gathered together my emotions, feelings and pain and sought to “find” my understanding of what David was saying. It’s the worst possible translation methodology but it’s been a great personal re-discovery of God.

The 40 day journey is a chance to take some time out and listen to God’s voice. God’s praise will last for eternity, we have the great privilege to begin that praise now.
