Why Forbear When He Is Near

Why forbear when He is near?? (Funom's Sonnet) My God met me, so I can sing, He has led me all my ways, He has hid me in His own wing, He has fed me all my days; I let Him use my everything, And I try to do as He says, He bid my pen, so I can bring A new way to say my praise; God is by me in all my woe, In Him, it's my joy to know I'm not in the net of the foe; I'll see Him one day, I've no fear; He can win you, if you get near, Let God in, why do you forbear? ---------------------- 19th March, 2016
