God Is Love

Satan knows my name
he knows my strengths
yet he knows my weakness.
He plays with those around me
whips me with chains
through their pain.

He blinds my vision
makes me naive
trusting in lies.
Looking for hope
on false promises
only he could make.

I know God's name
I know his strengths.
He knows my weakness also
but doesn't play me.
He helps to heal the wounds
and ease the pain.

God opens the shades
for me to see truth
and shine with honesty.
God gives hope
to all that call on his name.
God is love.

Amen!  That's the difference between God and Satan, isn't it?  You're so right, although God and Satan both know our weaknesses, God will help us to overcome these weaknesses, whereas Satan will use them to give himself glory.  Thanks for sharing yet another fantastic poem!

The title says it all, Gloria.  Such beautiful words you've written nonetheless.
I too must add, AMEN.

Thank You all, I was having a tough time last night, so I wrote one poem to express the anger, which then led me to this one. I am so glad I have found poetry as a way of expressing, it does wonders for the soul. Thanks again.

Yes there is a battle going on, a daily pursuit for our affections, Thank God his loving entreaty and tender mercies are renewed every day and that we may escape the temptors snare. Loved your verse, Keep fighting the Good fight and God Bless.

 Poetry is the expression of thoughts which awake the higher and nobler emotions, or their opposites, with words arranged to some accepted convention.........or maybe not! Dennis :^)

very true lesson in this LD...you have a way with words...
great job!!

 ...there are places inside all our souls...
that have never been touched...
there are places inside our hearts...
that need to be loved this much...

Gloria so much truth here. Satan does take our weakness and use it against us. He also uses those around us to get to us.  And your right God is the one who helps us overcome those weakness'. For in our weakness, His power is shown!

One way you can save your riches,
And the other will save your soul.

It's good to know who our true friends and true enemies are--especially in the spiritual realms!  Your lovely poem hit the nail sqarely on the head!  Bless you,  David

Thoughts to remember even as there are those who remind us of the one and others, t'other.

A great piece packing pure truth!  The first poem I ever wrote came out of deep despair.  I'm convinced God forms it in us to come out for our healing relief.
