Notes About The Poem

EXPOSURE TO THE DIVINE

God showed Himself to me through my parents firstly
Appearing with their sweet smile, welcoming me warmly
Manifesting fatherly kindness wondrously
Highlighting maternal love-care abundantly.
   
     Growing, I was acquainted with God midst home’s bliss
     Where teaching of charity is a sure practice
     In family bonding with hugs, embrace and kiss
     Propped by prayer for all --- of Dad, Mom, Brods and Sis.

God did expose me well to His active presence
Displaying His great creation’s magnificence
Controlling the universe in its existence
Acquainting me His with gracious omnipotence.
     
     When I was invited for a Bible study
     God revealed His nature against claims’ parody
     Expressing Scriptures’ truth, immutably sturdy
     Offering me redemption from sins’ malady.

In my quest to know Him more through genuine worship
The Lord granted me faith for right relationship
Of vibrant fellowship and fruitful stewardship
Around Christ’s friendship by His perfect leadership.

     God through the Holy Spirit* shows me His goodness
     Mercy and forgiveness for confessed guiltiness
     Mighty deliverance assuring peacefulness
     Miracles that uphold against trials’ hardness.

Praise-filled, I yield myself to God with gratitude
Since He owns me, bracing up my faith’s fortitude
Cognizant that He is my life’s infinitude
I show Him to all midst triumphant attitude.  
      
*John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
