Amazing Poetry Written By Amazing Folks

Lacie Wrote this One

I told myself God did not exist. 

I refused to believe in Him. 

I rebelled against his reign. 

So why am I here listening to these songs of praise and yearning for more?

Why is this nectar so sweet?

God has always struck fear down my spine. 

Possibly it was due to my father yelling in my face until his own turned blue and purple about this almighty God that will strike us sinners down once and for all. 

Or it could not even be God who I am scared of..

Satan was once an angel they say.. 

He was struck down from Heaven for self-pride or some other reason they get from the sacred book. 

I suppose my fear of religion stems from lack of acceptance. 

Once I heard that if you ask the Lord for his forgiveness in which he will wash away with true repentance and if you fully accept Him into your heart and soul you will be eternally saved. 

At twelve years of age I did this,

at least I thought I did. 

Sitting late one night at the park on a swing crying to God up above. 

I told him how I did not understand my purpose and that I was slipping into darkness. 

Nothing. 

They say God doesn't bless you with what you want but with what you need.

Maybe God has a rough life planned out for me. 

Was it really Him who saved me while I was fighting so hard to give up and die?

We were taught to never question the Heavenly Father,

but I only have one question?

Am I like Lucifer?

Was I cast from your grace?

Cause God I want to accept you into my heart. 

I want to understand. 

Please Lord,

take my prayers and pleas and accept them as I try to accept you into my heart and soul. 

I know I am a sinner, 

I want to live in your light, 

in your grace. 

Amen
