Believe In Me

Just believe me?

Believe In Me:
 
It's hard to say you're ok in the midst of hurt and strife.
 
You seek, find and perservere through every stage of life.
 
You wonder what the future holds; how successful you will be.
 
But you often fail to tell yourself, "I believe in me."
 
You seek to find acceptance; you conform to their new ways.
 
You lose hold of all your values and slowly drift astray.
 
Your passion soon becomes... something very hard to see.
 
Again, you fail to tell yourself, "I believe in me."
 
You search for joy and happiness; somehow come up short.
 
You didn't seek God's Will this time or wait for His report.
 
He wanted you to ask Him, "What is it that I need...?"
 
So simple was the answer, "Just beleive in Me."

Dear Jwana Creer Yeshua,

This write soars beyond the heavens to deliver a message of hope and confirmation. How you eloquently graced the pages with these humbling words of wisdom is beyond comprehension.

By believing in ourselves; we succeed through all of life's challenges and decrees. Our seasons of life bring diverse situations, self-sacrificing attributes and compassion dealt through inner peace towards others.

Instead of finding ourselves; we find 'who we are not'. In-return, losing everything that we might have gained through select morals and sound-decisions. Where your future once was... your present contains. Passion turned into a 'lust' of seven irrevocable contingents.

We search the world and others for happiness yet all we need-do is peer inwards and we will truly discover the love we desire and can-then reciprocate unto others. When we understand this about ourselves; then we may hear the 'Voice of Truth' and pass judgment no-more. Patience is a virtue we have vacantly 'tossed to the curbside'.

How you portrayed these last two lines was magnificent. I applaud your humbleness and heart. I continue to be amazed by your works... please continue forth.

Humblest regards,
Catechize

Juwana you really captured in words how God perceives us. The Bible says," that we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God." If we can see what God sees in us we'll experience victory in our lives in a daily basis. We need to believe that we can succeede in life, and that we're overcomers. Awesome powerful piece of work. I loved every minute of it. Thankyou, for the experience.

This is a great piece of writing! I'm part of a youth grup at the teen center and this poem really helped me and others find our way to the Lord...

So true....
When we r flowing in d life's tumultous waves we have no directions....GOD is d direction we need.
Most of us seem to not realise that....or sometimes its too late to realise too....:(

Awesome! very descriptive as how we lose our selves, if we fail to believe in self and God! Thank You!

I agree with the other critique that this has a wonderful rhythm, and again, your vibe is such a peaceful, contemplative one. This is very pretty...I can see it on plaques and posters and things of that nature, and I think that people would be proud to have this gracing their homes.

I AM not really a fan of religious "believe in Me" stuff because I do not have faith in organized religion, but as far as the actual writing goes, this was superb. I think you may truly be blessed. :)

Amen, brother, amen! This poem is absolutely correct in that humans tend to stray from the things they once held dear, namely, their own beliefs and values. The world we live in is tough. Very few people are willing to stop and spend a few measly minutes to help others up. It's a rat race! In these times of hardship and struggle, we must look up to God and push forwards, not for ourselves, not for the ones we care about, but for the great one.

As far as the actual poetry goes, the rhythm is flawless. Once the groove is established, it sticks. Very pleasant to read out loud. Great work!

Merry Christmas from your friendly neighborhood author!

I believe in "Us"...

Such a beautiful, soft-spoken piece clearly searching for much needed guidance and answers from the Creator. Yes I too am guilty of not believing in myself or even God's most gracious "report". This is very spiritual and really hits home. You have written this piece very well and eloquently with a profound message. I'm certain HE is pleased. Nice job.
