Mark 9:24 “Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, ‘I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief!”*
…..
The mind is limited
and heart hangs
on banks of disbelief.
…..
So build a bridge
to the other side
where faith resides complete.

The father knew Jesus could heal his son. At least…he thought he believed. In desperation he pleaded for Jesus to make up the difference. Smart father.

Patty, I really enjoy your poetry. This one paints a perfect mental picture of the struggles we all have with fully believing. I see a nail-scarred hand as that bridge. I just can’t do it on my own! Blessings.

Love that! The nail-scarred hand does what we can’t do on our own. Appreciate the insight!
