God Stands Behind

There is an evergreen I see,
That always looked so strong to me.
Tall and stately, well branched too,
I thought I'd like to see the view
From where it stands upon a rise
And so I walked there.What surprise,
At finding not one trunk but two,
Though from a distance, there's no clue,
That one trunk stands before the other
And behind it is its brother!

The roots are tangled, not apart.
I wonder if it has one heart?
There is a parallel I believe.
God stands behind us to relieve
The stress and strain life brings our way
And gives us strength to meet each day.
If we are strong to face all things,
It is of course, because he brings
His wisdom and His love to share
And hears our every fervent prayer!

Just like that tree, we do not stand
Alone before what is at hand.
He supports us every hour,
Providing comfort, with His power!

You are so right, Nature inspires us to SEE God everywhere and to discover Him omnipresent, residing ALWAYS in our hearts.
Beautiful!

(smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, your wonderful words always bring a smile to my face as you speak in tune of Mother Nature and all that is pure! (kiss on cheek) He is the foundation of all creation, sweet friend, and His love is its roots, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Betty, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!
