Growing Faith with Age


II Timothy 3:15 &16

From a child being influenced by the Word,
Now I really would not call it being absurd;
For the Scriptures will make you truly wise,
Able to see through the deception and lies;
Ensuring salvation through faith in Christ,
Fully understanding why He was sacrificed;
All my poetry given in inspiration of God,
In praise and worship of honor and in laud;
From doctrine of guidance in righteousness,
In filling true believers with blessedness.
Most of us were influenced at an early age,
Nearly from time of birth into adult stage.
Maybe we did not think of it much back then,
At the end of a prayer as told to say amen;
We had more interest in going out to play,
Rather than God molding us as some clay;
As we grew older our eyes began to open,
Reading the Bible our mind able to sharpen;
My faith grew from the truth and the light,
And my direction of travel would be right.
