Your faith is growing so wonderfully.
And the love that you bear for one another never stops increasing.
But I ask is that happening  really.
Our faith is weak , in adversity, not enduring.

We can take special pride in your constancy.
Under all the troubles you have to bear.
But I ask do we not more often follow our own fancy.
Too prone to give up and shed a tear.

It all shows that God’s judgment is just.
And the purpose of it is that you may be found worthy.
But again we ask , do we really trust.
Is our faith half full or half empty.

Thus we read St Paul’s teaching.
And find ourselves only half listening.

…….

Is our faith growing
Do we love each other more
Well perhaps, maybe
