Carries Me

'The love of GOD carries me." That is what keeps me going day by day. That is the reason that I am going to worship again today, meaning that HIS love keeps my cares at bay and drives my concerns away. I hope that these poems are a blessing to you today.

 

In this Life

In this life, I have learned

That the love and protection of

GOD is not to be spurned

As I have seen enemies routed

And others broken down

Because they refused to believe

That the lovingkindness of GOD toward

HIS children is just and sound.

 

Would that the world would learn

That whether a single chick or

A horde, doing the work of GOD, be found

Belief in HIS protective hedge

Among Christians, will always be found

And faith in HIS plans for their lives

As a loving FATHER, also abounds.

As I have said before, I have seen

The enemies of Christians be in dismay

With their plans fouled and in disarray

When GOD shows HIS and

Lets them know, that HIS eyes are

Trained on them and HE is sending a

Warning frown which means, "Stay

Away from MY children and not

Another warning is coming your way."

And the child of GOD closes his eyes

And sings, "Thank YOU, FATHER and

As always, my life is in YOUR hands

To do with according to YOUR plans."©

Long Hot Summer

A long hot summer looms ahead

And I wonder how many more

Will be numbered with the dead

From Covid-19 or from pure hatred

For the fire of hatred has been fanned

And now its flames threaten to

Run unchecked across the land.

How often a little fire grows

Beyond the purpose of the igniter

To threaten the lives of loved ones and foes

And cannot be extinguished by

Any human firefighters

How many? Only GOD knows.

And having said that, all of us

Need to focus, not on petty likes and dislikes

Whether great or small

But, on prayer to Almighty GOD

WHO can save us all

But as I finish this post, I must say

That the love of GOD carries me

No matter what comes my way.©
