Poem About All That God Does

Even though I grew up in church, there was a time I was far from God. But with everything I went through in this life, I've come to realize God is the only one who can keep me going, gives me strength, and will never leave my side.

Because Of You

Because you picked me up when I struggled to get through
Because you healed my heart when it was thrown and shattered
Because you gave me hope when it seemed so out of reach
Because you filled me with peace when chaos flowed through my veins
Because you showed me the light when there was only darkness
Because you gave me comfort when my voice cried out in pain
Because you reassured me when the doubts screamed in my head
Because you kept me going when there seemed nowhere to go
Because you sustained me with strength when weakness became all I knew
Because you came and stayed when everyone else turned around and left
Because you gave me a purpose when life seemed so pointless
Because you restored my happiness when life seemed to snatch it away
Because you filled this emptiness when the void echoed with loneliness
Because you helped me let it all go when I gripped the tightest to hold on
Because you showed me the beauty of life when the world showed me nothing but hate and corruption
Because you gave me a better life when the old one fought to come back
Because I am nothing without you, nothing but a hopeless being
Because only You could tear down my wall of pride, and instead build it back up with love and humbleness
Because of all this, I give you my life, Lord
I will put all my fears and failures in Your hands, my worries that consume me, my pain that destroys me
You were always there, even when I rejected You
Because of all You are, my life, oh God, is yours

We are never alone. Father God has been and will always be there to listen to our stories of struggling with everyday life and all of the curve ball being thrown at us. He is always ready to fight our battles for us. Don’t think for a second that he is not there, not listening. He is very much aware of our struggles before we do. Perhaps it’s because he placed them in our lives to see how we handle them. God has already defeated them. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of art. May God bless your hand for your work.

It's really touching and I felt it to be very inspiring and vicariously something that reached my heart. It was really nice and I truly appreciate the thoughts of the poet.

Tough and lonely moments come in everybody's life and at such moments of despair the thoughts expressed in the poem give courage and evolution as a matured person occurs.
