I saw God But Now What

Line of inquiry:
Yes, I affirm, I have seen God
But He appeared and then disappeared
This knowing that transcends mind, left me awed
But until what’s imbibed is assimilated, by fears I’m seared
 

Once, I was so
very sick, and 
I  almost died,
and wandered
hospital  halls
lost ... broken.
Until-  I found
a  quiet  room
just for praying
so, I sat  down 
and opened a bible placed on a table looking at different Psalms, Verses.
Soon, I felt another person in the room, a man sitting beside me quietly.
He turned to me taking my hand and I knew it was God.  I thought that
my time on earth was over.  But, he stroked my hand and holding it told
me I had  things
still to do for him.
That it  was  not
my time ....  yet.
After, I  got well
I   never  forgot
what God-   said.
Now, I do things
very meaningful,
things for .. God.
I  help  the  poor
and help animals.
I try  to  be kind 
every single day.
And say prayers
each new  dawn
I read this in the
bible-  Isaiah 43.
When you  pass
thru  the waters
I  will  be  with
you ... and thru 
the rivers, they
will not overwhelm you;  when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you. Even Jesus holds me when I am afraid.
So, I saw God's face and it was beautiful and felt his love and that is my why.

[6] For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.

Valsa George April 14, 2024 at 11:26 PM So beautifully worded and aligned. I agree with all your convictions and ratify your experience. When I feel broken down, God comes to me as a friend assuring that He will ever be with me as a fort sheltering me from all storms of life. Love the shape of this poem and the inspirational message it conveys. Into my FAV.
