Confirmation Relate

No Coward Soul Is Mine
by Emily Jane Brontë

No coward soul is mine,
No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere:
I see Heaven's glories shine,
And faith shines equal, arming me from Fear.

O God within my breast,
Almighty, ever-present Deity!
Life - that in me hast rest,
As I - Undying Life- have power in Thee!

Vain are the thousand creeds
That move men's hearts, unutterably vain;
Worthless as withered weeds
Or idlest froth amid the boundless main,

To waken doubt in one
Holding so fast by Thine infinity;
So surely anchored on
The steadfast rock of immortality.

With wide-embracing love
Thy Spirit animates eternal years,
Pervades and broods above,
Changes, sustains, dissolves, creates and rears

Though Earth and moon were gone,
And suns and universes ceased to be,
And Thou weren't left alone,
Every Existence would exist in Thee.

There is not room for Death,
Nor atom that his might could render void:
Thou - Thou art Being and Breath,
And what Thou art may never

I can relate this poem to my confirmation because it tells me not to be coward when the times comes. It tells me to have the spirit of courage and faith since the Holy Spirit will be there to guide and protect me. It says that nothing in this world not even the worst storm can make me tremble because I have an immovable faith that shines equally like the heaven that shines and protects me from fear. It tells me to put my whole faith on God Almighty who is always present, beside and lives within me. My life is already rested in His hands.
