Laugh of Faith

THE LAUGH OF FAITH The laugh of faith is: victory while yet in the midst of the storm, while battles grow fierce, and sharp arrows pierce, attempting much spiritual harm. The laugh of faith is: joy during times of suffering and loss; it is knowing the Savior looks only with favor, as you struggle, yet carry your cross. The laugh of faith is: peace when the waves flow o'er the boat, and demons of hell prevent you to bail, and you know for a fact you can't float. The laugh of faith is: love when unlovely people assail, when, through no fault of your own, you stand alone, and companions forsake you to fail. The laugh of faith is: long suffering when the trials seem never to end; you are at the end of your rope with no reason to hope, forsaken by even your friends. The laugh of faith is: gentleness with those who torment your soul; they don't understand God's purpose and plan, they just threaten, malign and scold. The laugh of faith is: goodness when no one is good to you; others will doubt you, spread gossip about you, but you let your Savior shine through. The laugh of faith is: knowing your God has your life in the palm of His hand, your trials under control, making you whole; that your victory is part of His plan. The laugh of faith is the Spirit of God reigning and ruling within; the outcome is sure for He will endure and on this secret He'll let you in.
