Reminder of His Love

When I came home the other day
And set down in my chair
The day’s events ran through my mind
Causing grief and despair

I wish I wouldn’t have got up today
Nor even went to work!
The things that happened boggled the mind
I knew, I couldn’t put this day behind

I played the scenes of darkness
Over and over in my mind
And even wondered what I did to God
To make him be so unkind

I do not really understand
Why God loves me a sinner so
The one who forgets the lessons
He taught me long ago

But in a kind and special way
Like a Father so often does
He kindly and gently reminded me, of his love

My gaze somehow directed
To a picture on the wall
Of a rainbow after a storm

It reminded me of his promises
And that he is always there
To counsel and guide me
If Id come to him in prayer

I do not have to tell you
The next thing that was done
But lesson was relearned
A soul renewed
A hallelujah sung!

Amen, Geo, What a delightful message in your lovely poem. He will never forsake us as we continually look to Him. We all have days like this and a thank you kind sir for this great reminder.  Blessings, marcy

Woohoo Geo! He set the bow in the clouds as a reminder to Himself of His promises.

It is also a great reminder to us as well.
I'm so glad there was a Praise the Lord in there!  Sometimes as the story goes, we get too busy and troubles fall around us, and we question God what has happened.  But all along we forgot to start our day in Prayer, and asking for His guidance through our day!

Wonderful message! I enjoyed it very much

Geo, If you you wrote this for my benefit, believe me I am listening--and thank you for these encouraging words.  I appreciate them and they come at a needed time for me.  David
