Death and Re-Birth

My favorite Bible verse is Romans 8:28. In King James;

And we know that all things work together for good to them

that love God, to them that are called according to his purpose.

It is a shepherd and guiding light through the valley,

God has worked miracles for me. When I was down, he was there.

When it felt like nobody in the world loved me, he cared.

Jesus saved me from those who tried to devour me, he. was. there.

My God did not abandon me when I ran out and pursued sin.

When those vanities brought me the inevitable despair,

all I had to do was call on the name of my God and, he was there.

He didn't always wipe my tears away and praise him that he

didn't grant my every wish. Through temper tantrums

and cursing his name with the air, he was there.

My brother once told me; The absence of our daddy

but, the presence of our father. We were raised by him.

We are God's children. Spirits born in the wild without parents

capable of raising one. How many others can relate?

My mother is Love, my father the God of all creation.

I'm forever grateful to have been born again.
