Reflections

The Faith I Need

Posted on September 18, 2019 | Posted by Pastor Daniel

“Jesus said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.’ Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’” – John 20:27-28

O Giver of faith,
I don’t need to be the oak
               whose majestic branches
               shelter a multitude
Nor the redwood
               whose glorious crown reaches for
               heaven itself
Nor the cottonwood
               whose fervent roots unfailingly drink
               life giving water
But the small pine upon the ancient rock
               living in one inch of soil
               clinging to the crevice
               the wound
               as Thomas:
                              My Lord, my God
               whose voice trembles above
               the ruthless wind:
                              My rock, I am here
                              My rock, don’t let go
Amen.
