Glimpse Eternity

The other night, there was a special on called the Celtic Woman, a singing performance with an orchestra, and it was very beautiful. One of the songs inspired me to write this poem. I think the name is You raise me up. Be right in God, and trouble will persue you all your life. God chastises those he loves, but he will bring us through the trial, valley and troubles. Nothing will ever separate us from God's love! Praise God!! The wicked prosper and speak evil against God, but in an instant their prosperity will end to certain torment. Do not envy the wicked, be satisfied with what you have not envious of evil doers. Glimpse eternity in the sunrise, sunset, a childs smile and yes even in death. He holds you up in the fire and brings joy to sickness' release. Praise God!! praise Jesus!! For His holy word!! From the KJV of the Bible esp.(Psalms 73)

The KJV is my preference. From one Believer to another. Psalms is poetic beauty, isn't it. Thanks for sharing and your comments!

Life is never easy but no one ever said that it would be and we learn in the hard times. Keep the creative pen flowing. I heard part of that program on PBS. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work. Mom
