Even In My Doubt



Lord
you know me.
You
know me inside out
Thank you
for still loving me
Even in my doubt.
Like a daddy
that loves their child
You just looked at me
and with a knowing
you gave me a smile.
I'm sorry I questioned you
and what you meant for us
But I think
and I still see
It was
much ado
about nothing
My emotions
made it a fuss.
It's not nothing
to question you
It's not a good thing
but I know you love me
in my frailties
and back to you
back
to yourself
you will always
bring!

Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer!

Oh I loved this, isn't it just a wonderful feeling to be loved for who you are?  Like Serenity said, you DO write your heart, and that is a gift.

I don't want to know where I am heading, it will spoil my journey.

Shara Rose:  To know that He loves us in spite of our flaws, is so comforting, as you have pointed out in this touching poem.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Shara, He loves each and every one of us truly, as we are all His sons and daughters, and though we sin and folly, He understands our imperfections and like children, if we grow and learn from our mistakes with honesty, all is forgiven! (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Shara, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Thanks to all of you for the loving thoughts and concern. It was a very bad week sorting through all my feelings about this question about God and His Sons death. All in all I was very hurt that I had questioned my faith. For the naysayer out there that says I just can't let my wrong doings go unsaid...well no I don't like to hold things inside. That is a flaw of mine I just open up and talk about everything. I think in the back of my mind I am hoping, and thinking to myself if I say it out loud someone will see it, and talk to me. Tell me what they've exp'd, and its affect it has had on them. I guess I just need to see how someone else came through it. HOw they went through the battle and how they came out of it. Troubled is how I felt about it, so if I seem to air things that seem I should keep to myself...well I know all of you are right, but when things trouble you maybe it speaks outloud for help to get through it.
Thank you to all of you for your encouraging words. Yes, it was very troubling for me to question my God, and his intents toward us. I had heard that God and the Bible is a form of Mind control when I was already questioning, and it snowballed. I just want to say...If any of this has offended it was not meant for that, and I would like to ask any that were offended to forgive me, but I really was just grasping for answers, and I look to other people's common exp's for help sometimes.

Take care all of you. You are all an amazing bunch of writers!

God Bless, and Keep us all,

It is right to speak of your doublts.  They will never be lifted if hidden away.  God wants us to question.  Your poem is part of the quest and well done.  Joyce

Thanks for stopping to read...

Joyce-- Thank you for encouraging me. I am glad someone sees it that way. I appreciate your wise words.

2dalimit-- I appreciate what you are saying. Strength is what I feel more so than ever, because I went through that, and have my answer, and I know what I did not before. Thank you so much.

ShareRose...I enjoyed reading your heart and feelings thru these words you shared with us. It's not always easy dealing with doubt and other issues, but God will show you the way if you just let him...Paul

Mystic Dreamer...I think you are so right. It's not like me to question God. Talking about out of left field....I mean I have no idea where that came from, but I went through it, because not only did I lose my faith that I always leaned on--- for that week, but I felt fear along with it. Thank you so much for these words...they are much treasured and cherished, because I know people don't have to say anything you had to choose to say these things to me. Bless you..I gotta stop, because I'm starting to boo hoo so thank you for your kindness. I know it won't go unnotticed by God either. BIG

Paul Wilson...It's true...I know you are right...I don't know what happened. Who knows, I just know I'm glad it's over!! It really hurt me to be seperate from God like that, and that's all it was is feeling seperated, sorry for unloading all this just hurt, a lot.

God Bless, and all,

Reminds me of lyrics to the song, He's Been Faithful, by Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He's been faithful, faithful to me
looking back, His love and mercy I see
In my life I have questioned even failed to believe
Yet He's been faithful, faithful to me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Christ's words:

"Who do you say that I am?"


He does not want us to claim the thoughts, mind and claims of others, but our own claims.

Heartfelt words in your poem and your seeking.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Dearest Deb...thank you. See this is just what I mean --these words proves this is common. I'm not the only person that has doubted, and He had to step in, and be faithful for me until I could find my way back to Him. This really helped me. Thank you for the kindness you just extended. You have no idea how much this meant.

He's been faithful, faithful to me

In my life I have questioned even failed to believe
Yet He's been faithful, faithful to me.

VAS-- I didn't mean I bring this out in the open to have someone else's thoughts to adopt as my own. I meant I bring it out for reasons just like the above that made me feel I wasn't something horrible for doubting. I must not be if there are lyrics in a song about it. It's been felt by someone else, and they weren't a horrid human being so why would I be? This person above in the lyrics "failed to believe."

Thanks again Deb for encouraging me. What a kind, and gentle soul you must be. and more

hugs,
Terri~

Terri,
My words were merely to confirm the imperitiveness that we each question, that we seek discernment. He does not want us to accept all we hear, but align it with His word, His heart.

Christ asked Peter to state for himself who he believed Christ was, just as you have done in your poem. Sorry I wasn't very clear.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
