Feeling Faith

I have these emotions that follow the pattern of life’s tide,

He gave me these emotions yes but I often wonder why?

The waves come crashing in, and I feel His presence at the shore,

But then the waves draw back and I can’t see, hear or feel Him anymore.

I hold onto my faith that the next wave brings us close again,

So that I can feel Him close before His presence is taken.

My child he calls out do you not realise I am always here,

I did not give you these emotions to indicate when I am near.

Faith is knowing His presence is there even when you can’t feel Him,

Because Faith is a firm foundation and is not a feeling.
