Arthur Dunlap Jr.

My reason for writing is to inspire others through words and poetry. I believe the words that come to me in thought are from God. I choose to share those thoughts with others through writing. I write from a positive and spiritual mind with the intention of touching the hearts of people young and old. If I inspire only one person, I have failed because my intent is to inspire many.

Defining Faith

The biblical definition of faith is trusting in something you cannot prove. Faith is confidence and the substance of things we hope for as well as the assurance about what we do not see. It is also our handle on what we cannot see. Trust in God, our faith in Him, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living.

The clouds on a rainy day.

If we have faith, for it is then

That he will
