God

I see a new born child innocent of all
A blue print
Designed by someone
And a tear doeth fall

I see an egg crack open 
A chick emerges from within
A blue print designed by someone
To ignore it is a sin.

A blade of grass pokes through 
After the droughts and then rains fall
Surely there was a plan
Surly there’s a design to it all.

I see the tears drops fall 
As one is taken from them in death
If this was supposed to happen
Would we really breathe our last breath?

The pain it leaves when one is gone
But what is one to do?
There must be a reason 
For all we see and do.

From birth to death there is food for all
Yet we see baby’s born in innocence
For them to live and suffer
Really makes no sense

In the good book the word of God
It’s written for us to read
Surely there must be something there
Our battered senses plead.

If God made the earth
And then made earthling man
I suppose we must trust
He really has a plan.

For the Bible tells us 
Of God and his attributes
The word tells us we are in his image
And surely God tells the truth

So what and who is God
Will we ever know?
We are made in his image 
So why does evil flow?

You're a fine writer, Mandy, and you ask the eternal questions beautifully-- things make more sense if you see that this life is like a micro-second to the eternity our souls exist in --and no, it doesn't downplay the pain-or joy of life, but gives it a karmic meaning--the problem is not that life is meaningless as atheism posits, but there is so much meaning we can only grasp a bit of it at best. [i learned that the hard way, a very hard way, a 1/2 century ago.]

When we choose to be seperate from God we aren't conformed to His image or ways. A kingdom means the king has domain/influence over that kingdom. By giving us free will God tied his own hands, we must surrender ourselves to His Kingship or be slaves to the choices we make. The path to true freedom comes from surrendering to God's perfect will. Thanks for a thought provoking piece.

Howdy GG! Yes we are made in the beautiful image of God and your contemplative write stirs the audience much! Evil flows because we were given this earth to care for it and we allowed the enemy to take charge when the authority over all things actually belonged to mankind.....It is great to read your work here lady! I have been away for a while but glad to read your work.

No one on earth will ever be able to explain exactly who God is; but there is so much pointing towards that special something that has to be superior to everything else. Congrats on a deserved win. // paul

We seek and find, as promised, but not always as we first desired. In time, perhaps , we gain the wisdom to see our blessings. Without darkness no light is seen. Evil is evolutionary and subtle. We are hard-wired to ask such a question. Nicely done, Mandy !

Mandy, there is so many questions we should have. We are of a greater determination because no one asks them. Congratulations on your top win in Riddle's GOD Contest. LVerlena
