The Lord's Love

I need your unconditional love in my life. I don't just come to you in my hour of need, I have daily conversations with you morning and night which helps to heal any dismay I feel. I know I call on you often to help my friends and I feel that my prayers are always answered in the perfect way. It is such a blessing to know the comfort of your protective care, to know that you are always there watching over my family, watching over all of those who believe, as well as those who do not even believe that you exist. How wrong they are to feel that they are alone in this world. There are ways to teach without preaching, to guide without causing resentment, for telling another how to live is always met with resentment. Sharing one's own experiences helps the most to teach a lost soul who feels no reverence for the Lord. We all have the same God, and God is manifested in Love. Your Angel's must be very tired of me calling on them at all hours. The world is in much need of your help during these trying times of wars, of floods, and fires, and earthquakes that have killed so many. I went to church for many years, but I no longer feel the need to because you dwell in my heart and in my mind always. I share my love for you in my poetry and in my deeds of love for those I feel I can help. I have taught my children to love you and call on you as much as I do. They have perfect faith that you will answer their prayers. Whenever I see a lovely sunrise or sunset I feel your love shining through the clouds. You color my life with such beauty that it makes me weep. I feel closest to you in the nature you have provided here on this earth. With every bird that takes to the skies and sings sweet songs to bring us cheer, with the joy of every baby's birth, with every animal that warms our hearts, I give you thanks. Beyond and above anything else in my life, I treasure your love the most. I trust that your plan for my life is the road I want to follow, the path that guides me toward your light is so very bright. I will always be grateful for the life you have given me, for the blessings of family and friends, and though I have had many trials and tribulations, I have learned and grown from them, and I realize how much you have taught me. How much you love me. There will never be an end to my prayers nor my praises. Your love is my sacred blessing. 2-26-18 Inspirational Christian Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Regina McIntosh I changed the name to The Lord's Love 3/28/18 Connie Marcum Wong I DO NEED YOU SO LORD, BUT WHY?

Your words, Connie, are a "sacred blessing" to those of us lucky enough to have the opportunity to read them. I like Greg's use of the word "authentic" to describe this very inspirational poem that brings us such clarity sweet friend - "trust that your plan for my life is the road I want to follow." Beautiful and inspiring! Congratulations! Blessings of sweet joy to you!

It's so nice and authentic to hear your words of love and faith. Connie, you know I don't believe what you believe but I do have faith in you and your beliefs. It must be comforting for you, I can almost taste the sweet peace it brings you. Such an articulate statement of your religious feelings. Congratulations on your placement but most of all for simply being you.

Well Greg, I have first hand experience knowing there is more to our life on earth as my mother had a NDE and she told me how wonderful it is when we cross over. Because of that I no longer fear death and I will welcome the transformation when it comes. Thank you my friend. Blessings xxoo

Oh it s such a beautiful poem, it clearly shows your love toward God, isn t it nice to know that someone is there who help us, no matter how we are, who tells us to just remember Him and I ll give you happiness, love me and your life shall be beautiful, but are we honest with Him? When we are sad and have no alternative we turn to Him, He help us nd give us happiness but once we are fine, we again forget Him and ignore His warnings, may God guide us all

Thank you very much Freddie. I love being in Nature where I feel closest to God. : )

I related, I concurred in perfect tune, then came the 3rd stanza and I really felt your words as my own. It was then a quick, intense, joy-filled bolt hit my chest - I think in kinship, in knowing another feels as I do when in nature, sees, hears and knows as I do in nature and as such a great pleasure of mutual soul recognition brought me joy. Did you get all that? Oh, my friend. Love ... CayCay

It got an N/A in the contest, but I am sure he had a lot of wonderful poems to choose from. I cannot see the winner's list or manage my poems, edit or anything because the list onthe side is missing. Today is about the fourth day. I am waiting for PS Team to help me with the problem. I love your beautiful comment my kindred spirit friend. Much love and Blessings and thank you so much! xxoo : )
