Beneath His Throne

Not one of us will see God's Face,
Until we reach that Holy Place,
Called Heaven and have left behind
The sins and errors that we find
On earth, along the road we plod,
While hoping it will lead to God!

I wonder how that day will be?
Will He reveal Himself to me,
Or is His Countenance so rare,
It must be veiled, so as to spare
The eyes that long to ferret out
The Face we've only read about.

We are so far beneath His Throne
And yet, He claims us for His own.
Perhaps, we'll be too distant where
The people flock around His Chair,
To see His Face, but satisfied
That in His Kingdom, we'll abide!

Trill -

I enjoyed your true humility in this write and I am sure our Father is pleased by your honoring his greatness.   Sometimes I feel so small, it is so hard to fathom how he enjoys us as much as he does, but he does.
When we finally understand that our worship is meant for his happiness not for our own it makes so much sense.  We are designed to please him and when we do, he blesses us.  sorry for the little sermon there..haha - I love humility in poetry - awesome ... When I get my new poem done I will post it, for it goes well with both yours and Joyces last post.   Thanx Brother - Tim

Dear Betty Lou

Well, I do see 'God's Face' on this earthly plane when I look at each and every creation of His!  Your photo of you truly shows me how much He shines from your face!

I enjoyed your poem!

Love Isobel ox

You certainly have held on to your wonderful and powerful expression in imagery.  So very uplifting to see in my mind's eye all of those beautiful saints of God gathered around the Throne. It was so nice to read your work again. Smiles.
