To feel God’s love...

 

God is my LORD. He will be for eternity. When I felt sad and needed cheering up, I would pray to him and I would know he is listening. Just the other day I felt tempted by the devil and I am so thankful I have realized it. I was scared and confused, I felt like a sheep strayed from the herd. My parents would not let me go to church and I felt like I was slowly drifting away.

But my prayers were not left unheard. I feel like God has taken me back into his hand again, (although he really has never dropped me.) It is a feeling that I cannot experience from any physical substance. God is holy, he is invisible, I cannot touch him, but I feel closer to him than anyone else I can see, feel or touch. I am truly grateful that he has taken me into his care. I am grateful I met people God has planned for me to meet, who has guided me slowly to the ways of the church. It is a miracle. My thanks for the Lord will be for eternity.

Today I decided to write this. I want to write this for all the fellow Christians out there, and even non-believers. When I was at a time of sadness and fear of the demons living around us, tempting us, my prayers were not left unheard! I experienced for myself God’s acknowledgement of my pain… and how I was lost. He has led me to this song, which has brought me to tears. My eyes stung but I read the words and heard and felt my Father’s love. Some of the phrases here are perfect replies, from the LORD himself, about my feelings. It all comes from the bible. It is God's word after all! I feel he has led me to the poem. 


I love you, the reader. I hope God will bless your day and night, your life! 

Thank you Lord.

Here is the poem! I hope you all can enjoy like I have! :)

Some of my scary experiences in the past days made me feel tempted by the Devil and insecure. I felt lost, even more lost than I was at the time when I was an ateist, because my eyes were already opened but I had strayed away from the path of the righteous. I felt horrible and everytime I would go home and my mask would drop... And I would be consumed with sadness.
I haven't been to church in about four months I believe. My parents do not allow me to go anymore, they are not religious by the way. I have nothing against them and I understand, and I want to say that has helped me in realizing a lot of things about God, the Devil, or anything in general. It's not "Oh I go to church, I'm so righteous!" It's what is coming from your heart. This here is what's coming from my heart right now, where the holy spirit is here. I've been awakened again and found my path back! Thanks to God.
Bless the ones who has taken time to read this!! I really appreciate it!

I just happened to come upon this at a good time. I have been really having a hard time with the Devil lately and sort of feel that God isn't helping much (Even though deep down I know he is always there and is always helping me). I needed this motivation badly, so thank you for writing this (even if thanks sounds weird).
