Finding God

FINDING GOD My hungry heart and thirsty soul yearns for refill... Darkness and light roll then turn me up and down. Laughter and cries conjure caress my being in shrill. Gaping aghast to running rush caused a run-down! Yet, You my God comforted me 'neath water tides try. In trials and confusion, Your Sovereign a rock still. To shaky hope and weakness, Your grace empowers my will. The wilderness brings forth spring when I found yea... Hearing the sweetness of your voice in silence unfolds truth - healing wells of pains and woes... Heaven's breath by blossoms smell brought no shyness of searching... finding... knowing You more and more... Stars and moon shine along with my life's lamp shall bow in praise and worship, the deepest reverence I can offer. Thanking you until my life is done, my forever vow. As finding You, my God within labyrinths sets order... (c)Olive Eloisa 4:11am August 10. 2013 FIRST PLACE, GLORY TO GOD!!! CONTEST: FINDING GOD SPONSOR: Gale Angel Doyle Inspired by Biblical Verses: *Acts 17:27: That they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, **Matthew 7:8 = For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. ***Jeremiah 33:3 - call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

Olive just checking out how you do this kind of poem for your contest (when you say our first line must begin with the scripture or something like that, you don't mean exact quote of it, do you?) I think I need more examples. I see you got a win here, so a big belated congrats to you.

To know God is to acknowledge his "Final answers" to our deepest cries; to accept his will regardless; It is to desire "fellowship" with him more than anything material that we can receive from him. I felt this reality in this poem. Good one. Thank you Olive.

Very well written. Amen. I feel also that through the hands of God and with His guidance, I/we have the ability to write. 12 yrs. ago I was involved in a terrible accident & am very fortunate to even walk and talk, let alone write. But Philipians 4:13 gave me the "hope" I needed.... Keep up the good work & May God continue to bless you.

I think that you found God a very long time ago, for judging the depths of your words I see the wisdom and faith of the ages at play. Bravo! One such as I, who dwells in shallow water most of the time, am continually awed by your perception and sincerity. May the Spirit always inspire you !

True sweet Lucy. If we have Him in our lives we don't need much more... Amazing that if we surrender and lift all the days of our lives and each decisions we take, sometimes He provide us more than... just we need to stay put with Him.. This can be read in Philippians 4:2-14...:) one of my Fave Biblical verses..

I wrote this to share my experience in finding and acknowledging God's presence in my life.. I hope anyone who will read this will be inspired as well as be touched and encouraged to find God.. Though there are verses which tells God already is with us and within reach just it's upon us that we recognize Him..:)
