The Cleansing By Paul Wilson The cold water covered my face as I leaned backwards into the river Three times this was repeated each time making me shiver Repeat after me the preacher man said I accept God as my lord and savoir I confess my sins and ask forgiveness I promise my faith will never wavier The congregation all shook my hand saying welcome son... God bless you I was just a boy of twelve I didn’t know what to say or do Smiling I said thank you to all while standing there dripping wet I noticed a stranger standing behind the others that I hadn’t met He was tall and dressed in black with eyes that looked like fire The others kept their distance to meet him they had no desire I walked up to the stranger and asked him his name I go by many he said but mostly I am known as the keeper of the flame I turned to run away from him But God was blocking my way He said don’t be afraid my child I have cleansed your soul this day Satan can’t hurt you anymore Today from him you turned away I have cleansed your soul forever come kneel with me and pray Many years ago I accepted God as my savior and he accepted me All my life I have tried to be what he wants me to be ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (12-05-2005 04:28 PM).] |

A touching write. How true it is that many of the fears that would otherwise sink us, are tolarated or even confronted with the grace of God. Thanks for sharing. Rae |
