“And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” 1 Corinthians 13:13.
If God had three daughters,
Their names, I think, would be;
Faith; Hope; and Charity.
Faith shows us how to believe all God has said.
Hope embraces promises reserved just up ahead.
Charity’s always adding her love to these.
And I thank God for Faith, Hope, and Charity.
Faith sees the invisible; and what God can do.
Hope embraces promises awaiting me and you.
Charity helps create a Christ-likeness in me.
And the greatest of gifts, is that of Charity.
Sacrifice and service is all vain without these.
Bodies burned; applause earned; no reward shall there be.
Motive is what matters, motive is what God sees;
Faith and Hope are given meaning through Charity.
If God had three daughters,
Their names, I think, would be;
Faith; Hope; and Charity.
