I am new here, having just joined earlier today I am a born again believer since 2004; the following poem I wrote in 1988.
I'm so confused
What did I do?
The Bible says I'm evil.
Have I lived most of my life
In the grips of the devil?
Why was this?
I think I know:
Insecurity had me in it's throes.
Love I was afraid to show
And so I lived in darkness.
But what is evil?
Self esteem?
Following your heart-felt dreams?
Surely God on glorious high
Takes no delight to see me cry.
His love for me I must believe
Because of Him we were conceived;
Love is where I long to be
And so live in His likeness.
But what is love?
Does anyone know
Just what it is
We're supposed to show?
What kind?
How much?
Where does it go?
Who determines our love's flow?
Are we really in control
When sitting at the wheel?
For reason still eludes me
When I think on how I feel.
Are we the same?
Are we to blame?
What forces shape our lives?
Science looks for answers
While our spirits we deprive.
what is love..
love is an unreguited gift from God. it is unconditional, absolute and eternal.
it can never be earned, bought or bartered for. Some say you have to earn my love.
i say if you cant give your love freely, you can give love at all because it is not yours
to give because you have not accepted it from our holy giver of love. Love has no words because words can be defined in many ddifferent ways. My love is my gift foryou
to accept as you wish. One love is one heart created to be as one. To give is also to
take and thecircle stays unbroken. The scent of a rose remains in the hand that
gives it away. The love God gives us dwells with angent desire to give it away.
