Faith was the consideration
tangible belief in the unknown
the unseen promise, made the covenant
the contract, the bargain,
between God and Man
A constellation, a beach
a sky of stars or a field of sand
so shall your children be,
if you go where I call
if you leave all,
and follow me
Your belief,
not your works,
your deeds
will buy the kingdom
