God is God

God is God
God is good!
God made everything
And said that it was good!

God is Love
God needs love
He made us free with a voice to vie
Gave us a choice to love or die.

God has a plan for all reality
To build a big, big loving sea
And so he makes each person
A very smart unique part.

God gives every soul a unique brain
To do his will in a loving God-programmed way
No two minds are ever alike
Each call from God is different, not the same.

God talks to each on a different gain
And when we try to normalize
We interfere with God so wise
And cause much pain.

God made music
God made poetry
God made the spoken word
And all God made was good.

God made the oceans
God made the land
God made mountains
With His own hand.

God made Angels and birds to fly
God made beautiful butterflies
God made a garden He named it Eden
God made man He named Adam
Gave man helpmate Eve.

God had a seed to grow new life
God made man from His own sweet seed
Made woman from part of man
Gave them a beautiful garden
And taught man to tow His land.

God gave man a beautiful mind
A part of God's perfect kind
Gave him a bleeding heart to choose
To love or hate to win or lose.

God made pleasure
God made pain
God made Satan
To teach us about evil, give us pain make us weep.

Satan wakes us up to look for love
Before our final sleep
As God offers love with perfect strength.

God made for us an eternal home
To live with Him in perfect love
In the Glory of a brand new morning.

God made all fruit
God made all grain
God made all fish
God made all meat.

God made all wine so fine to soothe the soul
God gave us meat and bread to build us whole
God made the cane and honey to sweeten our meal
God made every thing for joyful souls to do and feel.

God made the wars to purge the earth of man
God made the floods to nourish all our land
God made earthquakes to fix unstable earth
God made the plenty; God made the dearth

God made the morning
God made the night
God made everything
Just right

God gave us birth
God gave us death
God gave us life from birth to sod
God is God.

God gave us a spirit
God gave us a mind
God gave us a soul
God gave us strength to know.

God gave us insight
God gave us light
To illuminate dark, dark places
With His word so bright

God gave us love to show
How to go
God gave me a call
To write poetry for all.

Satan came to Eve one day
To teach weak Adam God's true way
Eve found selfishness in Satan's play
And helped Satan lead weak Adam astray
From God's true and perfect love one day.

God needs perfect love
From you and me
As we face all sin and misery
He wants us to be free
To love Him voluntarily.

He sent His Son Jesus Christ
His very own Spirit of Love
To show us how to find His way
As He died on Calvary one day.

Gave His blood as currency
To cover all our sins and misery
Gave us one commandment, love
To make us whole
With all our heart, mind, strength and soul.

Wants us to love Him with all our being
Loving everything we're seeing
And to love ourselves as He is in us.
As we share His love from our own soul
Helping others to be completely whole.

God gave us pleasure without measure
And want's us to enjoy all joy and pleasure
As we spread His Holy love to others
Loving Him first sacrificing our selfish ways
As our deep love for God overflows each day.

God wants us to gladly share our godly love
With all our friends and families we see
Loving all our neighbors each and every day
While leaving everyone's soul free his way.

Just loving God as we
Seek to share caring responsibility
Taught by Jesus to you and me.

We cannot define God
He defines us through reality
What you think, feel and do is the real, real you
No human word can ever be our final authority.

God called me to write poetry
About his creation about his love
To pen verses for all to see
Describing all His reality.

God is displeased that man rewrites His Word today
Disguising truth with doctrine and religious lies
Keeping man in bondage away from God's true way
Closing windows to the sunshine of God sunrise.

His clear love message is a simple right
Christ gave us one commandment, love
My yoke is easy! My burden is light
So why should we accept more than said by Christ above?
As we live our lives our way, day by day.

God made you just the way you are today
To love Him and others in His sharing way
Except for love there is no other change, I say
To love and worship God in your own very special way.

For God is God.

I would say you just about covered it.  Except for free will.  God gave us that too and is grieved at how willful we are.  Very nice.  Joyce

Joyce, YES! You are absolutely correct. Free Will is the key to purity and Salvation! When we use our free will to desire and follow God first with all of our heart, He leads us into purity through Love in Christ, teaching us through His Gifts of the Spirit as we seek His Love and Light through knowledge and wisdom, leading to righteous sharing of His Love with others. We are His Candles in the dark night. Thank you for reading and commenting. May God bless you abundantly.

Thank you floria! Yes, God is in me! And He is in you! He is in all life! But we must open the windows to our heart and let His sunshine radiate and heat us, accepting The Son, Jesus Christ, God's Spirit of Love to help us direct our life. Or He waits in our outer spiritual chamber. Knocking on our door. As our spirit slowly dies.

Reading your poetry, I can see that you are walking hand in hand with Him.

Yes, Betty! I am in Him and He is Me. I am completely free! We are all free when we accept God in Christ, the Spirit of Love, and Christ in God and God and Christ in us, and when we accept that we are in God and Christ. It is wonderful! It is the Kingdom of God. And we are given The Gifts of Holy Spirit to help us understand and develop wisdom. Wise Love based on God's total understanding lets us more freely and fully share True Love with our neighbors. When we try to Love in darkness, there are many snares, to make our journey very difficult.
Thanks for your comment.

Silver Streak,

You really covered a whole lot of ground with your poem here, but I think what spoke the loudest to me, personally, was that GOD called you to write poetry.... And after reading, I must say, "Yes, indeed, GOD certainly has!"  Again, thank you for sharing the Divine inspiration that GOD has given to you to write.

Thank you, Bob. Yes, indeed, God has called me to write poetry. And that is now my entire life. I even purchased a a little stilt house on a half acre of natural habitat in the forest, equipped with a few things and cable internet, to work. We named it Paradise. It is dedicated to God and serves as a poetry headquarters. My sister, Anita maintains our website, www.perfectlovepoetry.com  from her Oklahoma home. Together we serve God in this ministry, guided by the Holy Spirit.

Eliza, why not today? All you need do is to release all of your concerns, cares, worries, pain, sorrow, and frustrations to Him, repenting your soul. And open you heart, mind and soul to Love. It's free. You need make no promises, just accept Love and Peace and Joy in your heart and pass it on. That's all. Why not do it now?
