Alone To Oneness

I am special, or so I thought, No one can understand me, Alone and lost, so hard I fought, The love of God I didn't see, Challenges braved, I called my own, None to enfold me in love, Perplexed in confusions unknown, I never did look above, Now turning back, I clearly see, It's something all humans face, Soul disconnectedness we flee, We're a spiritual race, This quest for truth unites us all, We long for the taste of God, Without His poured out grace, we'll fall, Without Christ, onward can't plod, We all are one in God's dear sight, Always in need of His care, In this dark world, we need His light To steer us when in despair. 3rd December 2022

Jo, I deeply relate go this narrative arc from being self-absorbed and lonely to acknowledging need for God. "In this dark world, we need His light", all your words resonate with my soul. As Eileen says - Amen! Thank you for sharing. Christmas blessings to you ~ John

"In this dark world, we need His light." You're exactly right, my dear friend. Another thought that holds truth and caught my attention is this: "We all are one in God's dear sight." So many have forgotten this. Your words are so beautiful and uplifting. Congratulations Jo, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

'Soul disconnectedness we flee. We're a spiritual race.' So true!... Only someone forgot to tell this to Russia, China, and now the USA. Big Brother is alive and well... Congrats on POTD, Jo!

God is our refuge and our strength ! Without Him, we are so helpless. This awareness itself will take us closer to God. So very inspiring and coming from the inner core of your heart, Jo !
