Save

I read a lot of poems about broken hearts. Probably some of the greatest poets of the ages have built on this. Here is a poem of hope. I hope you enjoy it.

If you have had a day when the clouds seem to dwell over your head and your head alone? This happens! If you have lost a loved one through no fought of your own And you find yourself asking God why he has left you alone. This too, happens. If you look past the heartache and try to find your way through the day You will find that God never left and will never go away. For when you need him most you are being carried in arms, gentle yet strong. If you do not see him there look for him and you will see that you�re wrong. This happens. God is strong and true but he gave man a mind of his own. It is called free will. It allows for our mistakes; learn from them and you will have grown. God never promised a cake walk in this life we were given to live. He even warned that we would be hurt by others to whom our love we freely give. This happens! Life is to live; to learn, grow strong and to build our faith and spirit. Gods words are often sweet but soft so if we do not listen we will not hear it. This happens! Tune in to his saving grace and take your hurts and joys to him to share. You will find that when all others have forsaken you he will always be there to care. This happens!

inspsiring faithful piece for us faithful ones Lew, great poetry, you might want to take another look at "one word." The line with fantasy in it referes to others and the world, not me or you personally. Even Jesus and God couldn't make all these devils and evil people happy in this world,

This is a very truthful and very inspiring poem, Lew. So many times, when relationships end, we fail to remember the one relationship we still have -- our relationship with God.

This is a beautiful poem.

Thanks,
Jill

God sometimes blesses us in ways we never dreamed could happen. Life would be so lonely without Him, but I, too, sometimes neglect to trust Him like I should. Great write.

God IS able to do all things! I know because He's blessed us time and time again, even when we don't feel worthy; yet He loves us that much! He wants us, His Children, to be happy, to have all they need. He demonstrated that very thing today; He is good! :) Very beautiful write, and I love the picture!
