Thoughts on God

 

Some say God is love, well I beg to differ

Christ is Love, Mary is Love.

God is guilt, God is your conscience

Being all knowing does not allow for love.

 

That is why a son was born.

A son born to a mother that

was the embodiment of love.

Christ has the best of both worlds.

 

God answers prayers, and

judges you on your final days

But Christ and Mary are with you always.

They are by no means greater than Him,

But they were put here by Him

To serve that exact purpose.

 

To know all is to know evil,

that is why the world is so bad.

God must have the hardest time.

I feel sorry for him.

Message from God.

 

Looking down

I see the sun,

And the way it shines

on everyone.

There is no color,

it knows no face,

it shines for hours

on every race.

Continually shining every day,

if only my children

behaved that way.

The Compassionate Fisherman

 

He cast His line into the sea,

To catch a worthless fish like me,

Seeing His beautiful lure of Light,

I swam to it with mustered might,

Swallowed that heavenly lure so fast,

And sighed deep inside - Home at last!

 

But Home at last did not begin,

Although hooked fast, not reeled in,

Thrashing and splashing and knowing not why,

Perhaps the thought - This fish must die,

Convinced within of His love so true,

Yet ever aflounder in sea so blue!

 

Hooked tight on line with increased fear,

Will the day never come when He draws me near,

My heart cried out to Him at night,

Why dear Lord is such my plight,

Caught in the midst of heaven and sea,

Lost to the earth - No home with Thee!

 

His answer as a wave washed over me,

To do you no harm, I let you be,

If I reeled you in your thrash and roll,

Much harm I would do to heart and soul,

If I let the line slack and you swam out to sea,

How lost you would become without thought of me!

 

Because my compassion for you is great,

I hold the line taut, and patiently wait,

Till your love overwhelms all thoughts of the sea,

And your eyes brim with tears, thought always on Me,

When your heart is at peace,

and you struggle no more,

Then, my son, I will draw you ashore!

Be Still and Know

 

Be still and know for God is talking

to you in the still of the day

as well as in the still of the night.

 

Be still and know for God's love pours out

to you in the still of the day

as well as in the still of the night.

 

Be still and know for God gives you

His blessings in the still of the day,

as well as in the still of the night,

 

Be still and know for God gives you

His peace in the still of the day

as well as in the still of the night,

 

Be still and know that

all these things come from God!

The Intrepid Warrior

 

The warrior's path to God must be trod

with a heart of compassion.

 

The one who would walk this path,

must be armed with

a sword free from anger,

a shield devoid of lust, and

a bow, arrow and quiver, free from greed.

 

He must trod the path

with a bowed head,

and a one-pointed mind.

 

His eyes must be bathed in tears,

from a soul that is overflowing

with its own unconditional Love.

 

For such a warrior, diligent and true,

the destination will be reached

with the next step.

Surrender

 

Oh Lord, why should I pretend

that I usurp your power,

when all that vibrates

does so only at your Will.

 

Why should I make plans for the future,

when all my days are decided by You.

Why should I think I, when all is You.

 

Please Lord, grant me the Grace

to always see clearly.

Provide to me Your Will

so that my every action

is in accord with

Your highest standards of selflessness,

compassion, kindness and love.

 

It is You who are all.

This part of You recognizes Your Glory

and humbly offers back to You

that which has always been Yours,

but I was too ignorant to see.

Mother Teresa wrote this poem about how we should live our life on earth.  I read it once and knew without doubt that she was a Saint of the highest order. She said, "I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds, I feel I am nursing the Lord himself.  Is it not a beautiful experience?"
