Listen for God / Christian Poetry from the heart

View Verse of the Day

Patience
The Patience he showed for me I must now learn from Him
He gave me years of patience and forgiveness for my sins
I always heard him calling from deep inside somewhere
Never really stopping to listen or to truly hear
He was there to guide me back onto the mighty road
Since those early years his voice has surely grown
I had to learn to listen and open up my heart
Praying and acknowledgement was a good place to start
In my youthful years I was led astray
I chased false happiness all to Gods dismay
He stayed with me by my side protecting me from harm
He was the gentle voice within speaking to me so calm
I did not obey God in those early years
I let go of His hand and went down the path of fears
I walked away from Him and onto the road below
This road was filled with sadness and many lonely souls
I still had God deep within myself
So I held onto the lonely thinking I help
Not understanding I too was among the lost
my truth and my morals were just a part of the cost
Years of youth now wasted I was no longer whole
I had been deceived by the devil he tried to keep my soul
But I had God beside me reaching out his hand
He reached deep into my heart and made me understand
He would never leave me as long as I beleived in Him
It still took many years for me to really comprehend
The magnitude of the relationship that we share today
He granted me with many gifts that I once threw away
Now I fully trust in He who never let me down
I will now stay beside Him and never turn around
I will never tread on that broken road that I have left behind
I will walk ahead with God and learn Patience in due time
I will try to help others off that broken lonely road
I will be there to share the graces he has bestowed
For when we ask for forgiveness with pure faith and reverence for Him
He will be beside us to forgive us of our sins
These poems are a gift for me to share with you
they are from within my heart where Gods love for all is true
