A Gift From God
Picture
Love can't be described.
It has no shape, it has no form.
Love is not an object.
Love does not conform.
Is there a higher power or a God out there? Why did It create us? What is the meaning of it all? When one is on a spiritual quest, these are some of the questions one encounters. Of course, if such a being were to show itself, that would answer all our questions. But without questions, might that take some of the excitement out of the search? The world is intended to be a place of free choice. The more clearly God is manifest in the world, the less we can choose to ignore his presence. His choice not to show himself is a gift to human beings to be able choose their own destinies.

Love is everything the poem says and so much more. It's constantly putting those you love before yourself and anything else.
Throughout your life you'll forget many things,
but never the...

Every scar has a story.
What will mine tell?
What will come of this
when I’m better, when I’m well?
Thank you so much for this poem. I read this poem in church, after suffering cardiac arrest at home. My husband was told by the paramedics that I probably wouldn't make it. My husband kept...
Day by day, God walks with me,
and my burdens he helps me bear.
Each step I take along the way,
my loving Father is always there.

When searching for God,
There's no need to look far.
He's not in the clouds
Or some far away star.
Dear Yannik,

God comes to us in quiet and simple ways.
He is there when the breeze rustles the palm fronds on a quiet, lazy, sunny afternoon.
When the raindrops softly patter on the thirsty tin roofs of the poor, he is there.
I have never seen God in this light. Thank you for showing me how easy it is to find God. I have been searching for Him all my life.
It all seems senseless
I'm broken in a million pieces
The pain is too much for me
But I turn my face to Thee

I do my very best each day
Though some days prove worse than others.
I'm everywhere I'm needed,
No need more crucial than another.
Glory to our loving Lord, who is a
Mighty God and a faithful friend.
His divine love for us is pure and perfect,
and His great mercy knows no end.
When God created you,
He knew what he would see.
Someone that wasn't perfect,
Or in heaven you would be.
This poem spoke volumes about myself, my feelings, my thoughts, and the love that my God has always poured in my heart in order to be able to love deeply and unconditionally. It also teaches...
You never promised us a perfect life, but only a perfect love.
We seek you in prayer and look for you as you are,
Our everlasting savior, a bright and shining star.
Sometimes we are out there lost, seeking your acceptance,
It soothes the heart to know someone up there really does care. Reading this gives a reassuring hope and strength to hold on.
