Faith by Reflection I

Theological and philosophical discourses are often complex and unpopular among the public. Poetry is elegant, simple, humorous, and substantive. Human intellect questions and challenges ideas, and the outcome may not be conclusive or satisfactory. Human emotions, however, do not require evidence and are not prone to doubt and disputes. It is probably easier to touch someone’s heart than convince their intellect. The poems in this book are meant to convey a message at the heart of the Christian Gospel. It declares that God is within man’s heart. This will be achieved by stirring or awakening the personal emotions of the readers. It is like touching strings on a musical instrument to produce the right note. When the first note is played, the rest of the melody will follow, and man and God will dance together to the Promised Land.
