Encountering God Poem by Mihaela Pirjol
Encountering God
In weakness and in fear,
In doubt and trembling
Like a lost child
With a heavy heart;
In humility,
In hope for my salvation,
I had come to Thee...
I had come to encounter thee,
God Almighty!
Behind thy church's stone,
On my knees I fell
Amongst the trees in forest deep,
My wounded soul to thee I wept.
Thou understood my prayer,
Thou understood my woe,
And in thy Grace Divine,
Thou received this soul of mine:
Upon my heart,
Thy mystical presence...Light!
Lost soul, by guiding lights I found.
With Everlasting Love Divine,
My mortal human-weakness thou replaced;
And with such radiance my heart fulfilled,
Beyond my knowing reaches
Mesmerized by a miracle I felt,
Overflowing sacredly upon the World
With abundance in sharing,
Spreading Divine on paths by evil touched.
And I rose and walked
With a confidence I did not have,
In smile my joyful spirit, while humiliated,
Devoted loving, while despised I have been;
Wide wings of hope I felt
Soaring high and free
Just like a dove:
Faithfully...I believed!
And all my questions,
In thy sacred book
Thou answered them, God!
I, then...
Loved with a Love
Beyond reason or judgement:
Completely, selflessly,
Till the point of vanishing...
Till thy Brightness,
Brought me closer to Thee...
God Almighty!
Awesome prayer........Divine. I loved it, written with heart and heartfelt poetry.
Oh God woeful prayer to you. Your brightness.. brightens the world.
Encounter with God - is the most valuable meeting in life! lovely!
This is so intense and cumulative it has to be read more than once. I sense a two-fold quality First, there is the mystic experience itself - the searching for God, preparing oneself to receive his visitation, expressing gratitude. All of these things happen in the present tense of the poem. Second, the poem gives an over view practice of belief and practice. But this is a private experience. I noticed it happened OUTSIDE IN BACK OF THE CHURCH: it's still sacred ground but not part of a service with other worshipers. YOU prayed to God to manifest himself and he complied in appearing to you alone. This was a mystical experience, one-on-one in the divine presence, a unique blessing.No doubt the consequence of the passionate commitment of your prayer.
