When You Have God In You

Once I felt so sad and weary;
 My heart said, I couldn't carry.
I wanted to be merry;
But my mind is so dreary.

I paused and thought for things;
I taught myself to think for positiveness.
I learned how to be a happy being;
I wanted to blot out negativeness.

I stopped and knelt;
I prayed to God and talked to Him.
My heart was at ease, that's what I felt;
My mind was happy and never in dim.

When you have God in you;
Your worries will be set  free.
Mournful thread will be changed.
Our Almighty is our greatest strength.

When you have God in you,
You can find meaning in life;
Which once you have treated meaningless.
Our God is our real happiness.

Sometimes when feel sad and lonely. There are moments that we almost surrender. But just a sisterly reminder, our Almighty Father is always there for us. When we feel sad and lifeless, pause and talk to Him. Suddenly, you will unexplainable happiness. That is the power of God's love to us. We do not see Him in our bare naked eyes but we feel His undying love for us. God bless everyone!

It’s not always when the eyes are closed in prayer but when you open them and rise to your feet. You’ve cast your prayers at His feet, with thankfulness and fullness of His presence. He releases such peace.
