Tonye George Poet Free verse

He has Only Just Begun

Stoned out of concentration, my eyes stared deep into the padded grey church walls, ambient coloured lights flashed through the tinted windows dancing up the ceilings, and tunes of melodious worship shadowed past my ears.

I never wanted a cut on my body. "you have a cyst in both ovaries and it requires prompt surgery." The doctor's words eluded my thoughts, fleeting like flickering LEDs.

I wanted a miracle desperately. Shattered in tears, I spoke to God, asked him to heal me, 
to give me a first-hand embrace of his mercy and I'll share mine too.

Faith is a mix of troubles and losses, dreams on hold, hurts and tears. But with it, God sends a blanket of stability. One month later, the test came back negative. I testified.

Andrea Dietrich June 26, 2024 at 12:52 PM wow, amazing that you got that miracle. I prayed about chemo and got the answer not to undergo it. I only did radiation for my breast cancer. 8 years later and fingers crossed. Tonye George June 26, 2024 at 11:51 PM A huge testimony Dear, Andrea. Faith is the key. I'm happy for you. Cheers to more years.

Valsa George June 23, 2024 at 9:25 PM What a great testimony! I too have experienced such healing, not instant but slow. I had chocolate cyst in my ovary due to endometriosis and was removed through laparoscopy. He has only just begun. May you get more of His blessings, dear Tonye! Beautifully written. Tonye George June 26, 2024 at 11:51 PM A testimony to be grateful for. We thank God. I appreciate your support, Dear Valsa.

Evelyn Judy Buehler June 2, 2024 at 10:02 PM I love your beautiful poem, testifying to the power and mercy of God, Tonye. When you have Him in your life, everything else seems to fall into place. Thank you for sharing your wonderful story. Evelyn Tonye George June 26, 2024 at 11:49 PM Thank you Evelyn.

Sara Kendrick June 2, 2024 at 12:21 PM Awesome testimony. I have been through the ovary problems, and it is not fun. Thanks for sharing your miracle of faith. Sara K Tonye George June 2, 2024 at 12:33 PM Thank you Sara. I'm glad you sailed through too. It is really not a fun experience.

Silent One June 2, 2024 at 9:45 AM I am not one for religious poems, but your wrote it very well.. A little tip for you, think about how you can format your poems differently, where you dont have long lines... it just looks a bit nicer... Tonye George June 2, 2024 at 10:51 AM Okay. Thank you I'll check in on that. Hope you have been well? Cheers, Silent.

Victor Buhagiar May 31, 2024 at 1:03 AM Your heart is beating despite the flimsiest of flesh that keeps the heart beating. You have no power over that. But we must all die someday. Tonye George May 31, 2024 at 5:03 AM Yes, Victor. Thank you for visiting.

Sotto Poet May 30, 2024 at 8:16 PM Your story is quite interesting, Tonye. The excitement is palpable. You and the seemingly miraculous resolution have my utmost joy. It exemplifies the significance of faith and the law of attraction. Nothing is too difficult for a power greater than ourselves, as this serves as a reminder. It breaks my heart that so many people fail to recognize God's power and hence refuse to ask for His direction. However, hearing your tale brings a sense of encouragement. Tonye George May 31, 2024 at 5:03 AM Thank you, Dear Sotto. He's a good God.

Ann Foster May 30, 2024 at 10:33 AM Always retest... and leave the consequence to JESUS... He is in control... Love your write... Amen... amen... Amen... Tonye George May 30, 2024 at 2:01 PM Amen. Thank you, Dear Ann.

Ann Foster May 30, 2024 at 10:32 AM Excellent... Lovely and poignant... Well written... Ann

Gershon Wolf May 29, 2024 at 8:27 PM What a great story, Tonye! Thrilling. And I am thrilled for you and the near-miraculous outcome!... Just think, 'Ask and ye shall receive!' No job too big for God, right? Most people don't ask though, as if He were not Omnipotent and/or doesn't hear our prayers (even if He doesn't always respond). So great to hear!!! Faith and Healing ~ Gershon Tonye George May 30, 2024 at 4:46 AM True. He's always listening. Thank you, Gersh.

Duke Beaufort May 28, 2024 at 11:04 AM Tonye, lucky you were able to have a retest. I agree that it feels very strange when arranging for surgery where someone will have to cut us open. I've had several surgeries and a few scars. It's not terrible if you have a good doctor. We're really very lucky if we have access to good medicine. It's very possible your yearning and feeling for wellness had an impact on your condition and test results. I'm assuming it was an ultrasound. You are one very fortunate person!!! May the streak continue! Tonye George May 28, 2024 at 5:10 PM Yes, it was. Amen. Thank you.
