Faith through Patience

Romans 5:2-5

Be justified by faith our hearts in peace,
With God through Christ a love not cease;
We have an access by faith into His grace,
So rejoice in hope of His glory to embrace;
We also glory in tribulations with patience,
Not letting the obstacles as a hindrance;
Patience makes experience for to hope,
Hope makes not ashamed rather to cope;
Since the love of God in our hearts shed,
By the Holy Spirit give for the road ahead.
The road in faith can be a very rough ride,
If you do not have Jesus Christ to abide;
With your faith such comfort you will feel,
Giving you the stamina that gives you zeal;
As your faith grows problems will not upset,
Without anguish adding to a spiritual debt;
Patience gives you control over your life,
Allowing you to keep suppressing the strife;
With Faith through patience you are mature,
Kicking out Satan then locking his door.
