A Dream of God - Visitor's Poem

by Celeste
(Toronto, Ontario, Canada)

I had a chance to sit and talk to the lord
For so long it seems that his voice I’ve ignored
He wasn’t angry as we finally sat down to speak
And I know he’s with me every time I’m weak.
I was overwhelmed to see him, it was such a grace
And he smiled, as tears rolled slowly down my face.
I knew not why I was crying, but only why I came
And after this moment I would never be the same.
I had so many questions; I didn’t know where to begin.
I felt so overwhelmed by triumph, pain and too much sin.
Just as promised he was there for me, and didn’t turn away
It was if he cared about everything I finally had to say.
Not knowing where to begin I just sat there in his view
And he took my hand and said “I’ve always loved you”
It was then I understood that it was I who turned away
It was me who forgot the importance and need to pray.
I told him life was hard, and it was a battle at best
Explaining that so much hurt weighed down upon my chest.
I was terrible for doubting that God was even there
With so much disaster how did he even still care?
I was conflicted and lost, I just needed some clarity
It was then God told me he’s even closer in my adversity.
