Poems Talking About God Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to M. M. Walters)

I. God's love does stand firm

(in answer to M. M. Walters)

The whole Bible do witness that God is the light,
with Him there is only absolute truth and no darkness
where He does organize the infinity according to His will,
we do not just exist for a kind of catharsis,
where He the omnipotent One does love man,
do not curse man to be a comical clown,
do exist from the very begin into all eternity
and although we do not know the details of His science
in His eyes we are very exceptional and special,
where we do always have the ability and potential
to become greater or to bring everything to destruction
as our choices and humanity is not determined by fate
but without His caracther, His law that makes love alive
which some see as rigid, we will be lost in the darkness.

II.The Bible says clearly that God is going to wipe-out sin

(in answer to M. M. Walters)

It's strange that people with reasoning ability
do make a mockery about God and his omnipotence
as if He can and also cannot and will and also do not want to,
as if they do not truly believe in Him as God.
The Bible says clearly that God is going to wipe-out sin,
that His intentions are full of love, full of mercy and noble,
that He does give everyone a fair chance to life
even are in search of those that do wander off and are missing,
also that evil and suffering come from nothing else than sin
where the human decline do constantly astonish me
but man can look past Jesus and despise Him
where He comes as the only Lamb of God with the solution,
believe that He was but a mere sinful human being
and then try to fit everything into the puzzle of life.

III.How our personal relationship with Him goes

(in answer to M. M. Walters)

The soul that is the full living human being,
is unfortunately determined to only exist for a while
where at a time God wants to take us out of this earthly swamp,
where God in His eternal love without secret
do change our existence to have great meaning,
or if we do despise and mock Him and are lost in our sin
and say that He who is eternally righteous does constantly fail us
and then wonder why He is missing in our hearts?
How our personal relationship with Him goes
to what through our choices we find our as satisfaction
where by our own rebellion we constantly do astonish Him.
Our attitude towards Him do determine how we do stand with Him,
if we do follow Him like a obedient child
and if our love with His love do come to fullness.

[Reference:"Non Liquit (c) " by M. M. Walters.]


IV.God is above all things love

(in answer to M. M. Walters)

God is above all things love and the expression of it,
where He does ban the one that brings catastrophe and destruction
and He is not a cruel, vindictive, resentful monster
that do gnash His teeth constantly and bite us wherever He can
and that we do come out as the digested excrement from Him
is a school of thought that astonishes me with abhorrence
and then I do wonder if the poet does really know Him,
does have any relationship with Him?
Or is contempt and blasphemy
silently brought into a poem
as if we can walk away from our own words and actions
and does this man regard God for a reaction too meaningless?
Where I know Him hanging on a cross for everyone,
asking His Father to forgive those that do despise and injure Him.

[Reference:"Non Liquit (d) " by M. M. Walters.]


V.If our religion is only about rites and mannerisms

(in answer to M. M. Walters)

If our religion is only about rites and mannerisms,
then we are standing on very dangerous ground
and if we do not really want to find and serve Him with sincerity,
then life does continue totally meaningless.
If we do only find Him in academic words and concepts
then we do have no relationship with Him and are not His children
and if we then do decide that He did not rise from the grave,
then by our self focussed science we are totally blind
and if we want to ascribe the way that the world is to Him,
do replace the concepts of His eternal light with darkness,
do not know that our age old ancestors had an impact just as we do have,
then as mere humans we do not have any understanding or insight,
that continually a hell of a war is waging
between light and darkness and good and evil.
