In the difficulties seen all about me
I am awed by the human dimension,
And the vast variations possible
Of Experiences which cry for attention!

Are these not God's ways of drawing us
Showing us in our failure and need?
Wanting to show us a better way
Yea for our Salvation, He pleads.

The Uplifted Christ on the Cross
Dying for all of Humanities shame,
That from our sins we may be freed
And find our true peace in His Name.

Thus all that in life happens to me
I see as a summons from on High,
Divine Intervention, to get my attention
And thus all my need to supply!

David; So encouraging and inspiring, a beautiful poem of hope and Grace in terrible times of crisis and need. Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Your poem, to me, challenges us to be more aware of others.... It is amazing that God has given to us eyes that can see beyond the exterior to see into the needs of others.... Only God's Divine Intervention, to get my attention, as you have explained can do a miracle like that.... and yes even the imposible can be done in His name. Love ya, Bob <><

Wonderful piece of inspirtation to raise our awareness. I have found when I look hard enough that the ones that seem to have the hardest challenges are really the strongest ones and not the weak as we see them. I think it is God's way of letting us know that he is always trying to put us on an even playing field and that in itself is enough to get my attention. I am beginning to see just how weak I am and just how much I truely need "him". Thank you for the wonderful read.
