How I See God

I often wonder on which side of life reveals God’s identity,
in many events and experiences, a great measure to reckon
God’s involvement in human struggles, a way to know Him well;
His love for the poor explores the beatitudes in the Sacred Scriptures.

I know aphoristically, about pain and suffering in this world;
the lurking possibility that enables me to remain strong,
that what I stand for on the reality of God’s intervention,
in human history He has shown me evidences of His mystery.

While reading the beatitudes, myriad thoughts unfold;
but one thing that provides me with a continuing inspiration
faithfulness to His people that salvation remains His mission
virtually certain and assuring to all those who’re suffering.

It’s a gift of His love, unconditional and enduring  through ages,
it’s a gift of His kingdom where there’s eternal happiness;
truly, history can tell with opportunities along the way,
God’s presence in selfless giving, a reality so compelling.

That all of us may become like Him – a paragon of love
through moral clarity and sincerity of our rapport
with others who walk with us scarred and afflicted
yet the connection issue reveals hope and serenity.

Like all God-fearing men and women in this world,
I see God as a reflection of  man’s love to his neighbors;
It’s as simple as I wrestle with so many temptations
that in life’s struggles God is present and powerful.
