How You Feel And How God Feels Poetry Contest

I strive to place God as the be- all and end- all of life
  I know He watches over me as a caring father.
        When storm clouds rise high in my sky,
      I look up to Him for guidance.
              He gives company in my loneliness,
    Gives hope, when down in the ditch of despair.

  As I walk in darkness, whenever I falter and fall
      His gentle words keep ringing in my ears
              “Come all you, who are thirsty
        Come to the waters”- (Isaiah-55)
               Yes, I turn to the living waters
    And drink deep from the wellsprings of His love.

   In my sojourn on this earth, his love pilots me
        When storms rage fierce and breakers rise high,
     I turn to Him who once rebuked the wind,
        And calmed the waves of the tumultuous sea.

           With childlike trust, I give my hand to God
  And ask Him to hold it tight, never letting go.
        I know, God is pleased with my absolute trust in Him
     And also, my resolve to love all of His creation.

     Let every atom of my being throb with His filling love
        May it spurt like torrents to form the gushing stream.

Thanks for your personal testimony to the love and trust you have in our Father and Creator God, Valsa. We that love Him as you do, are comforted in the assuring words of this poem, my dear friend. It brings to my mind the 23rd Psalms. My heartfelt thanks to you and all others that turn their face to God as our salvation. An obvious FAV for my list. Smiles ~ Blessings, your poet friend in Texas, Bill

Dear Valsa, your poem is so spiritual. Won't get a lot of reads I'm afraid. PS prefers the mundane. A great poem. A fave.
