Faith Has Better Teeth

This little gift on doubt from a

sister to a sister to me.

Gerhard Frost, the brother that

Robert never had.

Faith Gnaws Too

"Yes, doubt does keep gnawing
at one's faith."
I said it to a friend,
my friend in deep distress.
I said it to encourage,
but quickly he replied,
without a moment's hesitation,
"But faith keeps gnawing at our doubts, too!"

It was a great response.
I am strengthened by it.
Intending to comfort,
I was comforted.
Today I walk more boldly
as I say:
Yes, Doubt does gnaw at my faith,
but faith gnaws, too,
and faith has better teeth!
