Does it seem that God forsakes you sometimes ?


Poem Artwork

Where Does God Go ?

 

Did you ever wonder ?

Well of course you have.

Oh so much I ponder

Oh so much I’ve gave.

 

But for what reason ?

Why go through it all ?

Do souls need to season ?

Trying hard not to fall.

 

Because God says we must.

Who does He say it too ?

Am I just supposed to trust

Because the Bible says it’s true ?

 

Oh my faith’s so weary

As I struggle on my way.

Yes my eyes grow teary

Does God have no say ?

 

Where has God gone ?

Seek and ye shall find.

When is seeking done?

So hard on my mind.

 

Where does God go ?

I’ve looked everywhere.

Oh I need Him so.

But where do I go ?

 

I found Him in my heart

Many years ago

For years we didn’t part

Did He have to go ?

 

I went to church looking

To try and find Him there

Lots of good cooking

And people everywhere.

 

But I once knew God

And had Him in my heart.

I knew no building housed God.

And we were still apart.

 

You see God is a feeling

You know when he is near

For when your heart He is healing

You can know no fear.

 

Your eyes can not see Him

Nor your ears hear His voice.

Your voice can not call Him.

Your heart is His only choice.

 

As I write this poem I feel , abiding

Oh my Lord at last, not apart

All that time you’ve been hiding

Deep right here in my heart.

 

You see God never leaves you.

He is always in your heart

He always sees things through

Sometimes we just forget our part.

 

Thank You Lord

Luke

This is a good one Larry! I have to open the door every morning to let Christ in. He is a gentleman and will not come in if He is not invited and it is like that every day. Peace be with you brother!

Dear Sir...I have held that same question close to my heart for near a year after my wife's passing from cancer. I wondered why GOD forgot me...I wondered why HE did not heed my suplications as I lay upon my face pleading that HE take me, and not her. I wondered whjere did GOD go? I wondered why did HE forsake me and leave me here alone without my love....and I wondered why if I/ we loved HIM as we did....why did HE no longer love me. Why did HE leave me heare all alone...but sir...HE never left, but was only shaping me...thank you for this beatiful pice...
