Why Me

Sitting in church at night, She wondered at her plight. Asked God why me? Reason I don't see. What is the purpose of life? Why it is full of strife? Why are we born on earth? Why of miseries there is no dearth? Will death end it all? Or will I be born again to endure it all. Please lord guide me, I surrender unto you, help me. Suddenly she heard the voice of God within "When your sins end, you will see your soul within Miseries absolves Sin Have faith in me I am your kin" "All those who surrender to me, Are surely liberated by me." With a smile girl went away, She smiled at her miseries from that day. Date: 12/18/2020 Contest Name : A Rhyme Story-Poem With Eyes On Sponsor : Mystic Rose Rose Premier contest winner 5th position

Rama, great write. God is such a great absolver of sin , just ask. Luke 11:9-10 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened. Congratulations on your 5th place win. Hugs Eve

Dear Rama, when things happen in our lives we often ask God why me, I knew a dying young girl who once asked God " Why not me " but then again I knew her to be an angel on earth. I loved your poem, it made me feel. Congratulations on your placement, and thank you for joining my contest. Love and light, your Mystic R.

Very few ask why not me. When people suffer they don't realise that God just cannot do bad to his own children. Beautiful contest. Thanks for the placement. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy new Year. Take care Rama
