With God

Three short poems by William Arthur Ward about faith, trusting God, and the difference we can make when we live with love and compassion.

There are times when life's challenges seem bigger than our ability to handle them. Yet faith reminds us that we do not have to face every difficulty on our own. In these three short poems, William Arthur Ward encourages us to trust God's strength, remember His presence, and let our faith be seen in the way we treat others.

As you read these poems take a moment to think about how faith can give us courage and how even a small act of kindness can bring hope to someone else.

With God, No mountain is too high to keep you from climbing it... William Arthur Ward

With God

With God,

No mountain is too high
to keep you from climbing it...

No goal is too great
to keep you from reaching it...

No problem is too difficult
to keep you from solving it...

No adversary is too powerful
to keep you from overcoming it...

No obstacle is too awesome
to keep you from overcoming it...

No burden is too heavy
to keep you from bearing it...

No aspiration is too noble
to keep you from attaining it.

We Cannot

Poet: William Arthur Ward

We can ignore God but
We cannot escape Him.

We can resist Him but
We cannot elude Him.

We can reject Him but
We cannot silence Him.

We can deny Him but
We cannot destroy Him.

Spark

Poet: William Arthur Ward

Love is the
spark that kindles the fire of compassion.

Compassion is the
fire that flames the candle of service.

Service is the
candle that ignites the torch of hope.

Hope is the
torch that lights the beacon of faith.

Faith is the
beacon that reflects the power of God.

God is the
power that creates the miracle of love.
