The Eternal Question: God, No God, Maybe God

The Eternal Question, How can I answer you? The Eternal Question I could never figure what was true Why would God make a child spend her formative years With a mother who brought nothing but tears If John 4:8 is true, “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love,” Why did my church going mother get satisfaction from my fear? Atheism would fit me like a glove With that being said, Loving God means I can rest when I’m dead I have faith despite what happens Regardless of what is said by a false prophet, Regardless of all of my bad habits “A problem that Jesus dealt that still exists today: Some claim to follow him but continually fall astray” I can have this belief Yet I still rebuke the church An entity that claims to be godly but only causes war and hurt The eternal question, is He real? I believe so, yes, because what else would there be? There has to be somebody who loves me for me That doesn’t mean that there aren’t earthly beings who do My sister, my father, my friends Theirs is all true But all of them have an inevitable end The love in their hearts is everlasting, It is God And so it is good
