River of Faith

© By Kathy Armijo

 

 

Dear God

You are so majestic

Your love is forever

You are always by my side

 

From You there is no place to hide

You see through and the true me

You know my thoughts before I think them

Help me share my faith

 

Everyone knows faith is trusting in something

Yet, to have faith in You some cannot fathom

You cannot be seen, nor heard, nor touched, nor tasted, nor smelled

Will they ever make it to Your kingdom?

 

Can I convince them that You are real?  Does it really matter?

Perhaps, in the recesses of their heart they know

That there is something out there that is greater than they

And “that is sufficient,” You say

 

Your love knows no bounds,

Whether we believe and have faith in You

What matters most is living and loving

As You have taught

 

When each of us who has led a very good life, dies

I have faith that you will allow all such souls entrance into heaven

Because we are Your kinsman

And Your love does not discriminate

Maybe he can't be seen or touched, etc... but I believe his presence can most definitely be felt! :~) His peace surpasses all understanding and He loves us infinitely and without regard... beautifully put.

Good poetry. I doubted God as after I watch my husband die, but not for long. Cause as he passed away he said What is that, and looked up into the air. I know he saw angels or God and went peacefully. Your poem reminds me of this time and I like reliously reading them.

As Agnostic I find this poem more in line with what a loving God should be like, not the organized religion version who says you have to pay this and do that and accept blindly never questioning. I think you are right that to know there is a higher power and to live your life to the best of your abilities without harming your fellow man is enough for any truly benevolent God...

A beautiful write my friend, for God's love is long suffering and He understands and knows our hearts probably better than we do. We were created in His image, we are His children, and a good father takes care of His children...enjoyed!
