I NEVER WALK ALONE

I watched my hand as the words poured out through my pen on to my paper,
then read what God had written.

*

I NEVER WALK ALONE

*

THOUGH LOVED ONES
TURN THEIR
BACKS TO ME

*

I NEVER WALK ALONE

*

THOUGH I CHOOSE
TO LIVE BY
GOD'S WORD

*

I NEVER WALK ALONE

*

THOUGH I REFUSE
TO BOW TO
OTHERS TRUTHS

*
I NEVER WALK ALONE
*
THOUGH I CRY
FOR CHILDREN
NEVER TO BE
BORN
*
*
*
*
I NEVER CRY ALONE

TRUSTING IN GOD

Sometimes, though over and over and over God has been so good to me I am still beset with doubt. Paul talks in Romans about this and I take comfort that such a great man sometimes experienced the same emotions that I do.

Paul is such an inspiration to me in many ways. When I err and stray from the path God has set my life to I think of Paul being lowered in a basket over the city walls because the Christians were after him.

When I see sin in my life I look to the life that Paul led as Saul crucifying Christians, believing he was following the will of God. When Jesus blinded him on the road to Damascus where he was going to crucify Christians, he never hesitated, he knew who had blinded him.


I already feel better, I have been sitting here fretting about whether I will be among those who qualify for the extended unemployment benefits. I cannot get the same answer out of any two people, and so far no money added to my account.

But, God has blessed me so much I will hold on to my faith that as He promised if I followed Him, He would take care of all my needs. Often it is not the way I would expect it, but I wait for Him to lead me.

MY QUESTION FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE

AS I SIT IN MY GARDEN
MY PLACE FOR THOUGHTS, PRAYERS
AND DREAMS
*
WHERE I FIND SO
OFTEN SUCH
JOY AND PEACE
*
GAZING AT ALL
THE BEAUTY
THAT GOD
SURROUNDS ME WITH
*
MY THOUGHTS WANDER
TO OTHERS WHO
DO NO BELIEVE
*
AND WHY IT SEEMS
THEY SEARCH OUT
BELIEVERS
LIKE ME
*
TRYING TO
CONVINCE ME
THAT MY FAITH
IS NOT
REAL
*
JUST SOME NEED
THAT I HAVE
SOME LACK
IN ME
*
IF I COULD TAKE
JUST A MOMENT OF
THEIR TIME
*
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK
THEM IN ALL
SINCERITY
*
WHY IS IT SO
IMPORTANT TO YOU
IN WHO AND WHAT
I BELIEVE?
*
I NEVER SEARCH
FOR YOU
FOR IT'S NOT MY
PLACE
*
I HAVE NO
NEED FOR YOU TO
JUSTIFY MY FAITH
*
FOR YOU TO
APPROVE OF MY
BELIEF
*
DO YOU BELIEVE
IN MARTIANS?
*
MANY PEOPLE DO
*
SO WHY IS IT YOU
SEARCH FOR
CHRISTIANS
*
THEIR FAITH TO
QUESTION
AND
RIDICULE
*
BUT PEOPLE WHO
BELIEVE IN LITTLE
GREEN MEN WHO
STEAL PEOPLE
FROM THIS
EARTH
*
YOU NEVER SEARCH
OUT
TO QUESTION
OR RIDICULE

ABOUT ME

If you are easily offended you may not want to be here. Sometimes I will jump out of my pew yelling at you to get off yours. Sometimes I will ask questions of those who don't believe. I don't hold to this new notion of what a church should be like. I think the Bible is pretty clear on that. I'm not worried if you are offended that I believe God's word is the truth and though I try to keep to my path in this walk of mine sometimes I wander off the path. This is just about my journey in faith.
