All the while we are honoring Him, He is honoring us, with survival and friends, and the wisdom to write heartfelt poems like the one I just read Joe. We may feel shunned by the world, but we are never shunned by Him. Your Poem speaks volumes Joe. His love sees us through much and teaches us that beyond the suffering is joy such as we have never known. This is an amazing poem Joe.

"If I can yet love/ though I may be/ shunned by the world/ then I see You true".......So true. If we can yet love God when life becomes stormy and everyone deserts us, it is real love and we become His real children and He, our loving Father. Beautiful Joe. I love it.

If we see God first...if we see God in all things...then we have perfect vision, and a perfect world. It is up to us. Those who say this cannot be a perfect world~are wrong. Those who think God is not perfect, that He would create a world that someday He would have to entirely annihilate~are wrong. God does not make mistakes. He knows the beginning and the End. He is our forever in love. God doesn't destroy Himself. When He created this world, He created it out of Himself...He breathes and dwells within His creation. He did not travel here or elsewhere to gather parts...He is everything and everywhere. Negativity is our own illusion manifest. See God first, see God in all things...then we see clearly, lovingly, perfectly. What we see is our reality. Just my two cents on the subject for the little it may be worth. Blessings my friend.
