Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Poet Rhyme

Finding God

FINDING GOD

My hungry heart and thirsty soul yearns for refill...
Darkness and light roll then turn me up and down.
Laughter and cries conjure caress my being in shrill.
Gaping aghast to running rush caused a run-down!

Yet, You my God comforted me 'neath water tides try.
In trials and confusion, Your Sovereign a rock still.
To shaky hope and weakness, Your grace empowers my will.
The wilderness brings forth spring when I found yea...

Hearing the sweetness of your voice in silence 
unfolds truth - healing wells of pains and woes...
Heaven's breath by blossoms smell brought no shyness
of searching... finding... knowing You more and more...

Stars and moon shine along with my life's lamp shall bow
in praise and worship, the deepest reverence I can offer.
Thanking you until my life is done, my forever vow.
As finding You, my God within labyrinths sets order...

FIRST PLACE, GLORY
TO GOD!!!
CONTEST: FINDING GOD
SPONSOR: Gale Angel
Doyle

Inspired by Biblical Verses: 

*Acts 17:27: That they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their  way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us,


**Matthew 7:8 = For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who  knocks it will be opened.

***Jeremiah 33:3 - call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and 
hidden things that you have not known.

Andrea Dietrich January 10, 2016 at 7:14 PM Olive just checking out how you do this kind of poem for your contest (when you say our first line must begin with the scripture or something like that, you don't mean exact quote of it, do you?) I think I need more examples. I see you got a win here, so a big belated congrats to you.

Curtis Johnson August 5, 2015 at 9:19 PM To know God is to acknowledge his "Final answers" to our deepest cries; to accept his will regardless; It is to desire "fellowship" with him more than anything material that we can receive from him. I felt this reality in this poem. Good one. Thank you Olive. Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser August 6, 2015 at 5:59 AM Amen. wow this is a touching comment.. Any poem I making esp my spiritual writes are my personal testimonies of how God has been good to me.. !thanks much!! I want to tell the whole world how HE changed me.~Olive ELoisa.. =")

Robert Skinner August 24, 2014 at 7:37 PM Very well written. Amen. I feel also that through the hands of God and with His guidance, I/we have the ability to write. 12 yrs. ago I was involved in a terrible accident & am very fortunate to even walk and talk, let alone write. But Philipians 4:13 gave me the "hope" I needed.... Keep up the good work & May God continue to bless you.

Lucilla Carrillo August 9, 2014 at 9:52 PM Thank you Olive for writing this beautiful poem. When we find God - we don't need more. Lucilla Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser August 10, 2014 at 2:45 PM True sweet Lucy. If we have Him in our lives we don't need much more... Amazing that if we surrender and lift all the days of our lives and each decisions we take, sometimes He provide us more than... just we need to stay put with Him.. This can be read in Philippians 4:2-14...:) one of my Fave Biblical verses..
