Reason A. Poteet Poet Prose

I'Ve Got Something To Say

 prose 

I will tell you of my God, the Father.
. . . He created the world from His word, He just spoke it into being.
. . . He knew all along that Eve would disobey Him (along with Adam).
. . . He planned it from the start that His Son would come to earth as spokesman for Him.
. . . He is a jealous God, not wanting anyone to perish in disobedience.
. . . I see Him at work daily in acts of healing, the beauty of nature, the miracle of birth.


I will tell you of my God, the Son.
. . . He has reigned with the Father from before the beginning of time.
. . . He forgave the sins of the world (mine included) when He died for us all.
. . . He rose from the dead to verify that He was different from all other gods.
. . . He promised to return to earth one day as King of Kings, I look forward to that day.
. . . I know that I’m forgiven, (not perfect); I talk to Him every day (several times) in prayer.


I will tell you of my God, the Spirit.
. . . He’s not sitting on his throne in heaven, He indwells me; He's my source of strength.
. . . He protects and disciplines and challenges followers to trust Him
. . . He reveals God’s message as I read His Word and pray (not as I listen to TV). 
. . . He has guided me through difficult times, testing my true colors.  Sometime I fail the test.
. . . I listen for His voice leading me in good times and bad to honor and obey Him.

It is important that we leave a written legacy of our creed and faith for the generations to come. I appreciate the contest very much and the placement.

Robert Lindley March 29, 2015 at 11:22 AM a7 from me. Love this write! A testament of faith that is a pleasure to read! Bravoooooooo!!!!!!!!! Reason A. Poteet March 29, 2015 at 1:54 PM thank you Robert. Worth writing for clarification if no other reason.

Laura Leiser March 28, 2015 at 11:09 PM A great expression of faith as you represent the Triune God in your poetry. Thanks for sharing! Reason A. Poteet March 29, 2015 at 1:56 PM Appreciate your time,Laura. I may work on it later getting some rhyme or other poetic flavor. For now, prose will have to suffice. I'm learning to wean myself from rhyme; but it is my preference.
