God found him in wilderness
in fearful, desolate wastes;
He surrounded him, he lifted him up,
he kept him as the apple of his eye.
It is our experience that God finds us when we are suffering.
In our nothingness, in our fear he comes to us to save us.
He embraces us, lifts us up and keeps us close to his heart in a loving embrace.
when we feel consoled, he disappears suddenly.
it is my hope God will be always with me in such moments of my life.
God is in search of all those who are lost in the wilderness of sin. He comes in search of them. so nice dear Poetess Anisha. thank you very much for this poem.
HE DISAPPEARS SUDDENLY - that is the problem, especially for mystics: Why does God withdraw from a close, intimate, loving relationship with an individual. The way he withdrew his presence from Mother Teresa, or in the Islamic tradition made Hafez wait almost a lifetime before showering with the sweetness of his presence. Why indeed? Why increase a person's suffering? But so it goes.
God disappears only when we distance ourselves from Him. Nice thoughts, thanks for sharing.
God is always for good...awesome poetry with such a spiritual thought.
A nice devotional lyric wonderfully composed with passion of both the mind and heart and speaks of the cream bondage between the Creator and the created.
