Notes About The Poem

Why would anyone with half the sense God gave a gold fish want to serve anyone else?             I would much rather serve a loving Father than a cruel god who would use me and then cast me aside and kill me when he had no further use for me.   Think  About  It.   I serve my God freely out of love because I know He loves me. There are those who serve their god in fear and trembling. How many functioning brain cells are needed here to see THE BIG DIFFERENCE.    The choice is ours to make because He bought and paid for our freedom with His Own Precious Blood.    THAT'S HOW MUCH HE CARES.

God, You'Re Good

God, You are just so good in all ways.
Everywhere I look I am reminded of Your goodness.
Your Majesty speaks to me from the lofty mountain peaks.
Your mighty power merely hinted at in the surging waves of the ocean.
Your loving kindness and forgiveness expressed ever so minutely in the warmth of a mother's arms.
I look up and see the clouds drifting across the face of the silver moon and think no artist ever painted such a mystical scene.
I see the forest in the early morning mist and think how magical a place this is.
I see the roses kissed by morning's dew and think no human could create such beauty.
I have watched my own belly move as the child within me grew strong and marveled at the magic You had created within me.
All my life I have been surrounded by Your abundant blessings.
You have proven Yourself over and over again.
How can Mankind be so foolish as to doubt You?
I am amazed by Your goodness, Your power, Your patience and Your mercy.
I stand in awe of You.
Lord, when You return, remember me.
                                                       Amen

Rama Balasubramanian February 10, 2021 at 9:19 PM Beautiful write, so many wonderful images and feelings in mind as I read this. You are right, be God loving not God fearing. You know what Ancient Indian scriptures say that initially all knew truth, loved God and were liberated. Then God asked feminine power called Maya and blind all humans so that world continues. So in a way God is the cause. Take care Rama Judy Ball February 11, 2021 at 2:21 PM Thanks bunches Rama. God Bless, JB
