ABSTRACT BUT TRUE

Abstract ideas are not material

As they are theoretical,

But they identify and understand

With moral dimensions that are practical.

Like logic which is abstract

And conceptual but true;

Is our identity in Jesus Christ

When our nature is renewed.

An invisible concept

But manifested outwardly,

Is faith when it’s administered

And acted upon accordingly.

God’s attributes are invisible

But so clearly we can see,

His hand in all creation

And how it all has come to be.

Love is an emotion

It is true but out of sight,

But felt by the heart and is in our actions

As it manifests God’s light.

Invisible are our emotions

And our intellect as well,

But they’re evident and based on reality

Since in our soul they dwell.

God is invisible

But He’s real as the air we breath;

Like the wind that gently strokes our skin

When the eyes of our heart believe.
