Believe
By Avery Lemonnier
I was taught
to believe in you from young. The Father Son and Holy Spirit we prayed to you
for guidance for peace and most of all prosperity. You guided me in life in
many ways I never understood. When I longed for you I couldn’t have you, when I
would dream of you, I couldn’t see you and when I prayed to you I couldn’t hear
you. I started to grow and you started to fade I would revisit a scripture or
two prayed a minute or more. Thought I was being fulfilled but then I met the
world and realize that my prayer wasn’t strong enough to fight the blows.
So my tears warmed my skinned while I witness
the pain of the world that you proclaimed. I watch the abuse to babies and I
saw the poverty swarm the old. Where is God I would cry!! The hurt of the world
is far greater than my sorrows and my prayer is far smaller to the ears of
Christ. The Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end the creator of all life
and still we die every day.
You created the world in seven days but it
takes one second to end my day. You walked on water to save the sick and heal
the blind. You fed thousands on one loaf of bread but I prayed to you for help to
stretch my check to last me two more days. The misconception of who you are battles my
mind as I try to find greater purpose in me. Are you the God of Love? While hate brews in hearts of man, Are you the
God Of peace? While War breaks out in homes and on foreign land. Are you the
God of truth when we live in deceit, Are you really YHWH-YIREH the God who will
provide. Provide my soul with something anything Just to know you’re near.
Believe in
me and witness the signs and wonders, behold a KING is born and he shall be
called JESUES. The king of kings and lords of lords, the beginning and thee end
this child born from a virgin and father who wasn’t truly his. A child who grew
to rule and condemned the land to bear fruit of what is right and to punish what
is wrong. Live by the commandments so one day you’ll see the pearly gates or forsake
all and be punished to hell and have your soul rot, Our souls rot every day on
earth so what makes 2000 years different from now?
This piece was really interesting for me to read. It just brought me to think about how many of us grow up with faith and have to one day come to actually think deeply about what we have learned and when it is questioned there aren't many answers... I think a lot of people feel this way but only a few are brave enough to speak up about it.
