God?

It is our god that gives us life
He brings us comfort in times of pain
And even pride among our peers.
He does not ask, we freely give
Our time, our money, our sense of being
Shameless nights we share with him
Secrets of a life unseen
Words unspoken -Bold as ink
None can see my god and me
He seems so tough, hard to relate
But he has blessed me to create
From distance he is like all else.
When eyes peer deeper, as close as mine
His off white beauty calls aloud,
“Moleskinne”

Yes he does bring comfort to the hurt. God is a relational God and wants to be intimate with us. We are the ones who make it hard to relate to Him at times. great poem!

His off white beauty calls aloud ... this coloring of the universal truly calls aloud. Hang in there, without God we are all nothing. Thank you for sharing, love.
