Faith Of A Child by SonofIssachar: 11:19pm On Apr 23, 2015 |
Author Unknown The father, a well digger, strong was he, And as loving and kind as a father could be. And Mary his daughter, Just five years old, Was very much dearer than millions in gold. To Mary her father was big, grand and nice, So each had a treasure, beyond any price. One day to the well, little Mary was sent To take daddy's lunch, how gladly she went. But when she looked down, not a thing could be seen. The well, like a pocket, was dark as could be. The father saw Mary and heard her voice, too, But made not a sound, just to see what she'd do. She dropped to her knees, the dear little soul, And called down, "Oh, Daddy, are you down this hole?" "Why, yes Mary darling, I'm here at your feet, Just drop my lunch for I'm ready to eat. Just let it go easy, I'll catch it all right." She did and she saw it fall out of sight. "Why Mary," said father, "There's enough here for two, Now this is the thing I would like you to do. You jump down here to me and we'll eat it together, Down here in the cool and away from the weather." "Oh, daddy, I'm afraid, I can't see you at all, Be sure now you catch me and don't let me fall." 'Twas just for a moment she wavered in doubt, Then closing her dear little eyes she jumped out. In the darkness, yes, that was the test, She trusted in faith At her father's request. And both were so happy he kissed her and smiled Because of the sweet trusting faith of his child. "Oh, sweet little Mary, you put me to shame, How often my Father Has called me the same, But because it was dark I turned back in doubt. Refusing the call, though his arms were stretched out." Meditation: As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. – 2 Samuel 22:31 You will succeed in Jesus Name!
