By Steps of Faith

There is no faith
That has not journeyed on
Nor hope that’s true
Where no battles have been won
Neither joy in Christ
Without some sorrow known
Or love of God
That has not hatred borne

But He gives hope
When grace its work has done
And joy for strength
To rest in God’s own Son
By steps of faith
Each day our race is run
Until in love
We reach our Father’s home

One of these I met in the respiratory ward of a large facility where I volunteered. I was going to visit a friend when I happened to glance in the open door of the adjacent room and saw a teenaged boy lying in the bed. He lay silently with his eyes closed. A lady was sitting quietly by him holding his hand so I paused for a minute, cleared my throat, and introduced myself as a volunteer chaplain.

She turned to smile, then looked back…
