Some Times In Life

some times in life God conceals the greatest gifts they are in the darkest of places it is all a part of the walk we are born upon this path knowing darkness always yields some times we are in need of a Higher nudging to discover the valuable treasures that was never really in the shadows we have simply forgotten one candle can dispel the shadows that in the worst of storms hope always is in the wind its' song lives in the heart we had forgotten to listen had forgotten that all the answers are in that light which evaporates the penumbra concealing His gifts the doors He opens some good, some not so good some that leave us quizzical all have a purpose when we walk thru that door begin to explore the other side we walk deeper and ever deepest into that Light, we do not tarry in that task running towards the fire the one who spoke to Moses OKC 6/22

A lovely write. God does conceal much but He also can show us much if we watch. Yes, "one candle can dispel the shadows." One day I hope to talk with Moses. I have some questions for him. Have a great/blessed day................

thank you....i often thought of God watching Job....hang on kid there is a light at the end of the tunnel. my sponsor taught me to never fear those doors, and i never did...i well remember the blackhole in one...and like Daniel, trusting, began the journey which soon became door after door that was absolute proof God knows what He is doing because my life completely changed door after door thereafter

Your profound words remind me of two Hebrew adages. (1) He who lives alone has God for a neighbor (2) God's grace can be found not where you look for it but where you find it! Good poem, Robert
