" Be Still and Know That I Am God ".

...................................................................................................................

 

I was lost in a magical dream, a stunning vision from the great beyond

the master of all time, was holding me by the hand

explaining to me directly, now all your questions will be answered

those perplexing inponderables, that wracked the mind and soul

he looked at me with loving kindness, I was mesmerized by his radiant eyes

I am your real father, now you see me for the first time

no thing that was ever hidden, lacked a reason or a rhyme

he showed me the big screen, where he replayed the moments of my life

translucent glories, overshadowed all my hurts and pains

my eyes filled with tears, as I realised all his loving care

I broke down with joy, and called out Abba, you were always there

then I was shown, all those dreams I'd thought I had been denied

and much to my chagrin, I saw the disasters that would have befallen

if all these cherished wishes, meant putting my will before the Lord

you tried to measure happiness, with the ruler of profit and gain

and failed to see the miracles, in the simple span between you and me

for I was the hidden architect, who designed the blueprint of your life

no good thing was witheld, you were unaware of all my blessings

and I couldn't answer, as the evidence was laid before my incredulous eyes

he smiled with grace and honor, I was struck by the light of his countenance

as he quietly and gently whispered, you saw a little,.. I saw it all

I came away completely humbled, and chastened to my core

my heart was filled with wonder, my spirit will never be the same anymore

and then I was awakened, by morning sunlight streaming its golden rays

and a song thrush was whistling and warbling, eternity's eternal refrain

my breathing was relaxed, and I was filled with soothing calm

and I can tell you, my true and faithful friend,

I've seen heaven, on the other side of the rainbow

I know the miracles. I have sensed the calm. I have marveled at the revelation and felt the warmth of His gentle hand. He has whispered in my ear and He has heard my words,but I have never seen his face, yet I have experienced the light. I am in awe of this magnificent pen Peter, and the blessings you have bestowed upon everyone who has encountered it and who has yet to. Your love for the Lord lives in each delicately powerful word...and is magnified through the gifts with which He has blessed you. It is, indeed, the other side of the rainbow... a feeling you have captured incredibly. Thank you for sharing this ... I can feel it. :-)
Love, Taylor

Splendid recounting of your encounter Peter! Most humbling indeed and so uplifting to read of it. This reminds me of the scripture

1 Cor. 13:12 "Now we see in a mirror dimly,but then face to face,now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known."

I read you poem and then looked at the palm of my hand for the longest time. I felt God's hand there and I looked closer still at all the lines that God gave me and I pondered this map and wondered just how well I'd walked this road.
Beautiful words of jubilation and praise.
Peter...look at your palm too.
Love and peace,

Hallelujah to The LAMB, for where He has taken you, Peter, and privileged you to see!

You are Beloved of the LORD..............and of so many, here, temporarily......on this side.

I, for one, Mr. Paton. God bless you, for blessing us, with your vision...

You thrust your heart and soul into this poem of jubiliation and praise, Peter. To have such an occurrence is to be as close too the peace we all seek as possible without reaching out and physically touching the bringer of this wonderful, wonderful, positive and glorious thing.
