Better Than No Faith At All

A poem about the he relationship God wants to have with his children.

When God sent his son to atone for our sins
which  He could never be guilty of;
He promised to us eternal life
and declared His unconditional love.
His love is given through grace,
His acceptance can never be earned.
But although He loves without strings,
there are things God would like in return.
He wants to be above all else in our lives,
to provide for all of our needs.
He would like us to show our love for Him
through faith and faithful deeds.
When we fall short of God's glory
when we have the occasion to sin.
God would like us to show our remorse,
in prayer, by turning to Him.
He asks that we honor the Father
by following the path of the Son.
Allowing love free rein in our lives
and allowing hate and anger none.
He wants us to know that rock solid faith
can grow from a seed quite small.
And whatever faith exists in this moment
is better than no faith at all.
