God Abiding in Our Souls


 
God forever promises. . .
letting new light shine upon us.
As we wander in the desert of our lives,
we lose the feel of God when we confront 
our daily sadness, anger, anxiety, or even joy! 
We repress the suffering over the world!
Personal invitations stretch my concern
for God’s all-inclusive Love!
 
Through deep meditation with God 
And dwelling within me as He does with all,
I recover from my selfish covetousness,
remembering that being on speaking terms 
with God is bragging, listening is learning!
I believe He rewards all His children
with eternity in His Kingdom of  Heaven!
