1. Whispers Of The Lord
The Lord whispered to me, "I love you so,"
"Come follow me, my child, high places we will go."
The Lord knelt beside me at an altar in prayer,
He wiped my tears and took away my despair.
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.
The Lord whispered to me, "I love you so,"
"Come follow me, my child, high places we will go."
The Lord knelt beside me at an altar in prayer,
He wiped my tears and took away my despair.
This is a wonderful poem to remind us that God is imparting wisdom into our hearts. Sometimes we are just too busy to listen to Him. We need to know that in this world wherein the different...

Love can't be described.
It has no shape, it has no form.
Love is not an object.
Love does not conform.
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?
In 1995, I had surgery to correct an arterial brain malformation (AVM), for which I was given a prognosis of only a 5% chance of survival, and I'd never walk or talk again. I told the doctor...
No matter what you have been told
God is in control
Yes, they came with a report one day
But God has the last say
The poem reminds me of those times when I could no longer do anything but to believe that everything will be alright. When I reach a dead end, my heart's cry is always "God is in control!"...
Is God still showing me love
As He looks down from above?
He silently sheds a tear
as He longs to be near.
It is an honor to know this moved you in such a deep way of understanding. I do nothing but put pen to paper when the spirit stirs me. I lean into the very spirit that only God can lead me....
I felt the love of an angel today,
For the first time since I walked away.
I've felt guilt and shame for so many years,
But the angel freed me of that through my tears.
I am 19 years old now. When I was young, I used to go to church with my mom. She taught me how to pray, love, respect, fear God, be obedient, and read the word of God. One day my mom was sick...
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...
If we all were blind
maybe then we all could see
that you must first have love
for you and then for me.

My LORD told me that HIS love would not fail,
as HE showed me a hand that was pierced by a nail.
HE told me I'm safe, started lifting the veil,
Thank you. This is exactly what I needed because I am at a low point in life and feel like, Where is God when I need him? This poem reminds me it's ok to fall, but to always remember God is...
When searching for God,
There's no need to look far.
He's not in the clouds
Or some far away star.
Dear Yannik,
I'm so pleased you liked my poem. Thank you for your time and heart-warming comment.
You are my protector
You are my strength
You are my light in my darkness, and my friend till the very end
This poem touched me because I was also saved by Jesus from a life of drugs and it reminded me of everything I'm so grateful for. Life is short and I threw away so many years running away...
As I search for your saving grace,
I know one day I'll see your face.
Waiting is the hardest thing for me.
I know with you I will be so free.
This poem is so great. I can feel the love and faith of God.
You are the music. You are the song.
You are the words of truth and love.
You are the voice that speaks to our heart.
You are the music, the song of our heart.
Actually, there is music to this poem that was created in 2013.
When the world comes crashing in
And chaos rules my mind,
I turn my heart to you, Lord
And pure, sweet peace I find.
A lovely poem, I only wish my faith was as strong as yours. Best wishes, Ann
Our God supplies us everything we need.
When we need help, to Him we reach.
He is always with us when we are lonely.
He loves us so much and takes anger slowly.
Excellent poem. I love it. One of my favorites on Family Friend Poem website.
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.
Does God listen when we pray?
Or when we speak does He turn away?
When life is tough, is it His doing?
We shouldn't be ashamed or afraid to voice our doubts. I can relate to this poem as I have done so many times in my life: be close and far from God yet still believe in Him.
Analysis of Form and Technique
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.
Sometimes I look at the stars, Lord, and wonder if you're there.
I have so many questions for you; I have so much to share.
Sometimes I feel your presence, sometimes I feel you're near.
If I tell you how empty I feel, would you still be there to hear?
I'm reading this at a time my soul need it most, it's a reflection of my condition. More Grace
God created the Earth
to bring us all to life,
to share in the beauty
of this world, free from strife.
