Seemed...To Be

As we press-on…there will be times, but especially in hard times, where we cannot ‘see’, nor ‘feel’ the warmth of Light (God’s Presence) at all. We make our way on a seemingly dark, cold pathway without even the ‘tease’ of a flame at the end of the tunnel…and only our ‘Faith in God’ is our strength. But as we continue to ‘diligently’ walk by Faith, not by Sight, our Faith ‘will be’ duly rewarded, and we’re enabled to feel and see ‘Light’ …a Light that was there all the time! Oh, Thank God for the Blessed Path of…Growing in Him! 2Corn 5:7, Hebrews 11:6


Poem Artwork

For years I peeked without a bright fall…

as there seemed to be no light at all

But then…one day I spied a shine

that rewarded my faith, my hope in…Thine

Now, there are times I meet a bend

the road seems changed…but I look again

And there it is still, that…glint…ahead

 infusing my heart…with words You’ve said

 Plundering on, in a spark…that flickers

I follow the path etched with Your clippers

My gratitude…for Your wise, sparse glow

which warms…just enough…to let me know…

Though hard times rise and troubles thrash

there is no altering what You have latched

And I’m reminded while passing …doubt’s wall…

of yesterday, when there seemed to be no light at all

 

Hebrews 11:6

Faith is still the substance of things hoped for. Your poem reminds us we must keep moving,even when things are not so clear. The light will come.

What God has latched remains closed to the world and open to you dear soul. I really enjoyed your poetry today, sorry for the absence, My mind has not been on poetry too much lately. Still I remember you fondly, Thank you and God bless you.

Your words are inspirational, as always, Joyce, in this beautifully written, spiritual poem touching on all the important points that we should think about, gratitude being one of them. Lovely posting.
