Yet Believe

 

Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

John 20:29

What Jesus said to Thomas

He also says to me

I want so much to see Him

in order to believe

I follow Jesus in the pages

thinking of Him as I read

yet I wonder if it's enough

to truly read it and believe

What I want from Jesus 

are answers to receive

and I pray fervently to Him

wanting to believe

But what I pray for

may not ever come to be

and in that crisis of my asking

will I truly still believe?

Thomas saw His God and Lord

and it forced him to his knees

no more doubting what he then saw

he came by seeing to believe

Jesus told him there would be others

who never would get to see

with their eyes the risen Savior

yet greater blessing attends their belief

Although I walk behind my Savior

Whom I never truly see

yet I know Him, learn to trust Him

blessed by Him since I not seeing, yet believe
