Father

Father, Father are you there?
Can you hear me?
I've prayed to you for two days!
I'm just curious if you're listening.

Listening, I hear all things
That are to be heard.
I see all things that are to be seen.
I Am that I Am.

I am sorry but, I wondered
If maybe you had forsaken me
As you had Your Son,
As He died on the cross.

Forsaken you! Forsaken My Son!
How dare you speak to Me so!
I did not forsake you,
Nor did I My Only Begotten Son!

What I gave you was and is a gift
At the cost of My Only Begotten Son
Is and was forgiveness of your sins.
And my son you sin. Yes, you sin.

So you dare ask if I forsake you.
No, my son I love you,
As I did my Only Begotten Son
From His mother Mary, Joseph's wife.

I have many children, as you know.
Many who love me, many who don't.
Yet, I love you all the same
and I answer those who call, or don't.

I do all this in My Time!
I have created all things including you.
I created My Only Begotten Son!
And allowed Him, taken, for you.

Have I forsaken you!
No, I gave My all for you!
I gave My Only Begotten Son for you
Because I love you!

Have I forsaken you?
Ask yourself that question my son.
Has He forsaken me?

In the name of The Father, The Son, and my Brother Jesus Christ. 
Amen.

Taz.. our collaboration posted just now as a narrative in two parts.. too many words to put on one sheet on the site after I finished the remaining verses... let me know how u like the finished product... its different and unique I think... "Sweetheart"

Amen, indeed, Richard. I like the way you allow God to respond to man's misguided questions by setting the record straight. Well done! Love, Carolyn
