MY SPIRIT AND POETRY

MY SPIRIT AND POETRY

I have a tremendous love for God. Someone said to me once that my faith is amazing and that I am someone special because of it...I beg to differ on that point...no one, no not even one of us is more special than the other..we are all just different. Faith for me is so much more than a choice...it is just a fact of life.....it's nothing that I really ever think or thought about, it just is, unchangeable...unconditional...there is nothing better on this earth to swap it with. But believe me, I sure have my moments of terror and sorrow just like anyone else, but I can always go to my God and lay my head on His lap for a while when I need to..He is always there to hold me in His arms and comfort and love me. All I need do to see Him, is close my eyes and I see Him standing in a garden, in a long white robe with a covering of purple, holding out His arms to me, saying, "come to me child and rest in my strength, let me carry the load for you for a while." Oh I just get shivers when I think about it...There is nothing comparable to God on this earth!!!!! And feeling this way, I often question why I do become afraid, but if I stop myself, I know He will make a way for me. I wish everyone could know the same God that I know and love. God Bless you all and keep you in His loving arms!!!!!!! John 3:16

I hear people question religion all the time, but to me it isn't about religion at all, it is about being Christ Like. When God walk the earth as a man called Jesus, he didn't preach religion, he preached the love of God. He came here to experience what we do, to save and to spread His love to all who will hear and believe. Religion and all it's separation is man made.

Dear Lord

I pray and plead, please forgive my sins,

take me in thy arms, and hold me within.

Keep me safe from the dangers, of what I do with my life.

Share with me your strength, with which to stop this strife..

Always doing wrong and hurting so many,

life is strange, bewildering, most times uncanny.

You put me here for a reason I'm sure,

But for what is inside, only you hold the cure.

Lord, I pray that you take my failings and all that I've done,

And use them as u see best, to hopefully help someone.

I thank you for today and endless blessings,

Lord I have struggles and only you can set me free,

One Day At A Time, for tomorrow, there is no guarantee.

may it all unravel with each new lesson.

I fall on my knees in reverence of thee,

I pray, please help me my Lord, just to find me.

You gave me your son, what pain you did bare,

I earnestly pray, that for you, I can be there.

yes I am confused by this never ending fate,

but you hold the key, with which to understand and open the gate.

Lord I cry, I pray, oh please, no more.

With your mercy and grace, please open the door.

My faith, My Lord, I place in thee,

You have and will always be there for me.

Thank u Lord for all blessings both big and small,

I hope that from you, I'll someday hear your call.

As I end this prayer, I would pray you not smite,

I pray for the courage to simply end this fight.

In Jesus` sacred name, I pray your will be done,

Hopefully, through you, I can become someone.

Amen...

Prayer is the word of God, that comes to you when

you are quiet enough, still enough, and receptive to hear with your heart.

God Of Love

When I gaze at the stars and heavens above

I can't help but think of my God of Love.

There were endless days of struggle and strife,

when all that mattered was ending this life.

How many days I fought for control,

terror and fear took hold of my soul.

I shed endless tears through destruction and pain,

like a lamb on the alter, my heart had been slain.

Even as I clung to the depths of the pit,

He called to me gently, he would not quit.

In hopelessness I prayed and knocked on the door,

He forgave me my sins and said, "Child no more."

My wretched ways full of sin and sorrow,

He gave me new life and hope for tomorrow.

Peace filled my heart and the darkness departed,

Through His mercy and Grace a new life has started.
