I Doubted God
Today as I walked along I had a doubt creep deeply, into my mind
About the nature of men, about my belief, and my faith in the divine
I wondered why one man is raised to higher graces and another so neglected
Or why one can be so highly exalted, while another so sorely afflicted
But then these words came to me, words I so respected....
All of this beyond the power of human understanding, cannot be any different
No amount of discussion or contemplation can possibly fathom divine judgment
Such judgments are to be respected, for questions engender quarrels and controversies
They also promote pride, presumption, and eventually preclude tenderness and mercy...
There is an infinite gap between the thoughts of an imperfect man and an enlightened one
Enlightenment is such a simple thing, it's heavenly revelation wherein His will be done
If anyone were to know which Saint is the holier in the Kingdom of Heaven's glory
Such knowledge would do him no good unless he were humble, then rose to tell the story
Of the wisdom God has bestowed upon us all through faith and belief in his existence
Through our actions of Love of Him by Loving others including those showing resistance...
He was there for me, for it was truly God
That brought these words to me
To help ease my mind
From the fact
That today
I doubted Him...

your poem sums up the whole state of being human or should i better put it human nature
excellent linda well all doubt
Hey Thanx LINDA!!....... especially for the "sums up the whole state of being.." ~ you shared within....... your friend and admirer....T xl. ?✳✴
Hey Tony... I've been there before....where I asked questions about God's existence because of the happenings around... But most things are way beyond human comprehension....Like King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes....he discovered the righteous getting what the sinner deserves and vice versa but in all these we know God has a purpose for everything under the sun... Sorry for rattling on... LOVE and ROCKETS!! ?
Yay!! Thanx your ROSE-NESS!!...... your continued support of my work...... and the heart of friendship you send my way........ is SO uplifting I dare say...... you contribute to my love of words and their ability to be of service in this crazy world of ours!!......" God has a purpose for everything under the sun"........ you got it girlfriend........ smiles....... your friend and admirer.......T xo ?✳✴
My Dear Brother Poet Tony,
There was a time when I doubted my dear God
But He never doubted me
He knew that just like Thomas, I had lost my way
But He would love me eternally
He forgave me for my incredulence
That I questioned His veracity
He turned His cheek and took my hand
We formed a love intense
Now I know I've found my King
His crown for all to see
He has taken me to Paradise
Which is where I'll ever be
Peace, Love and Rockets,
Larry xxx
My dear poet brother LARRY,
Your comments are so powerful I often think to myself........ they are better than my poems themselves........ Thomas learned a most amazing lesson........so glad you made that reference........ you're a man after my own heart....... admirably honest.......thanx for this bro........ttyl........LOVE and ROCKETS!.....T xo. ?☀✴✳
It's so simple for any one of us to slip on a path of doubt Tony...
You're positive words would enlighten anyone to believe.
Kind regards Mick.
Hey Thanx MIZZY!!......so sorry it took so long to reply....... appreciate the positive feedback my friend........ you're very kind ........and understanding brother poet!!....thanx again for this!!...... smiles.....T xo. ?☀✴✳
Such a powerful piece. So many of us have doubts. We tend to walk by faith & not by sight- which often can cause us to question so many things. Especially when emotions overpower us, and our vision.
This piece reflects the depth of that very thing.
I often like to think of myself as being a spiritual being, having a human experience...rather than a human being, having a spiritual experience. Someone once said that to me, and it stuck.
Great ink
Wow!! Thanx SOULWHISPERS!!......I'm glad it stuck!!......I think that a spiritual being having a human experience is a key in finding many answers...... like HELL for one! (smiles)...... Love that mind of yours girlfriend....... and thanx for this....... stay open minded ........but I have a feeling you've already got the key to that door........ perception is everything....... peace......T xo ?☀✴✳
Tony T.,
Wow! my friend this is simply devine.....Very well written and very much understood and absorbed and enjoyed...He doesn’t mind our doubts my friend, in fact he welcomes each one we have to offer, in order prove to us, (in the long run), why he is the one and only and that for each doubt, (attached), is our (God) given reason, for being skeptical and he in delight, surrenders (without.hesitation), his fully understandable and always acceptable, (reasons) for shooting, (figuratively speaking), (All) doubts down.. To borrow from the cache of Tony T."This was Stella piece of real estate you wrote and own here my friend and as always, knocked this delivered pitch, out of the park Tone." So much have i been missing here....Jim
Hey Thanx JIMMY!!..... sorry it took a few to reply......I always am super happy to hear from you......, your kindness and insights are greatly appreciated......I am so looking forward to having you around for a while..... it's not the same without you here.......thanx again my friend for taking time with this........ LOVE and ROCKETS!!.......T xo. ?☀✴✳
