-this Is the Day the Lord Gave-

THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD GAVE!
Looking out life’s window,
Trying to find out why I am so sad and down.
I don’t blame the Lord for my struggles.
I know strife in life is there.
If I did not live a meaningful existence, life would have no meaning at all.
So maybe I am stretched to the limit but I will never give-up.

Standing, I pillar because I am my self-worth.
To those that suggest a difference, my earthly work magnifies who I am.
Justifying my subsistence, my affluence is only a gen.
The knowledge this provides is of a greater acumen.
May I say that living is first and utmost privileged circumstance!
The Lord is my keeper and to him I give honor and respect.

In this solitary world, we seek companionship.
We go through situations in our relationships and may lose focus.
However, the Lord is there for us in our time of discontent.
Regime is formed and we mindset.
Our spirits are inner cored for fulfillment.
There is no greater cohort than the Lord’s intellect.

I know because this mountain I continue to peak.
Without question, I am profound in my belief.
That the Lord is the keeper of my faith and mankind is the persuader of a different way.
In joy, I laugh aloud. 
I am not blind to the lies of mankind.
My footsteps are admin to the all-powerful.
This day is given by The Almighty God.

Do I hear an Amen?

I read your poem and I felt the urge to answer this way, without The Lord We Are Nothing. We could never have survived our ups and down. To Believe in Him, can make many Miracles, my son was cured through a Miracle by Him the Lord. Beautiful subject, bless you. Terry xoxo

Therese, thanks for visiting my page and reading my poem. It is super-awesome to have strong profound faith in the omnipotent. You represent such. Keep on believing that nothing possible is impossible with God as your insight in the darkness hour. As you state, miracles come only from God who is the essence of our being. Sending you a hug, Verlena

Amen! I love what you had to say here. It seems that as Christians we need to give our self to him completely each day and we will be rewarded for our faith and surrendering to him. Praise God. Hugs, Nicole
