What comes first - "faithful-hopeful-love" or "vision"?

O source of our love, & Heart of our hearts,
whatever befalls us, its end ain't its start.
Both eyes that can see, & vision that's true
are gifts here to "we", good gifts - all from You.

And sometimes Your gifts (I know this seems bad)
aren't so "object"-ive (though 'out-there' a tad);
a "subject"-ive gift, the gift of oneself,
friendship & marriage both use well, with health.

So made on purpose, relating to you;
it's your faithfulness that helps us be true,
& lets our hope grow, of what could become.
Love expressed both for us, when they were dumb.

Not just to others, also back to you-
in learning to pray, & keep watchful too;
to copy God's heart, who first "saw" the good,
as young Yeshua "gave thanks" where he stood.

..........

Heart of our own hearts, whatever befall.
Still be our vision, Lord of all.

The church in Adelaide has just started a series on purpose and has proved good so far; that without faith, hope is hard to come by and that love is a full-bodied expression of both.
In Christ,
Tim Watson.
..........
Keep praying, being watchful with a thankful heart. Collossians 4:2 (PM Version)
