The Book

Could it really be that simple

Have i been so blind that i can't see

That all of the solutions to all of my problems

Have been right in front of me

Look in between the bindings

You'll be surprised at what you'll find

Like an unused open invitation

To a new world with an open mind

Read between the lines

There are lessons there

If only you will truly believe

Put all of your faith in that book

And its words will never decieve

Make time to find wisdom in the stories of old

I found there is a power greater then me

If only i put all of my trust in blind faith

My reward is that i can finally see

Beautiful poem, Yes we can find the answers to all of our problems. But at times , when we are standing in the middle of the fire, we tend to find the solution to our problems on our own understanding.He says: in
matt.11:28 come to me all of you that labor & are heavy laden,and I will give you rest. Also read Isaias41:10-13
do not fear for "I AM WITH YOU; be not dismayed ; for I am your God: I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousnes. read the rest. Poweful promises. He never breaks
his promises, like us humans do. In His time, But if we trust in Him and stand firm in him and His Word, He will not abandon us. So lets hold on to His hand and lets not let go,no matter the trials & tribulations. He will always be there
with us . All we have to do is ask !!!!

Although I don't personally agree with the blind faith part, that is irrelevant next to the fact that /you/ believe for faith is to each their own rock. Writing about something you believe in is always a good way to make great works. This is definitely a job well done.

if some one doesn't want to read the beginning of the bible then tell them to read the end and see how we win then start all over and do it again from the front to the end and there they will find the truth and a new beginning and and a great end!!!!great work!!!

The good book... indeed. The thing about the bible Mr. Lopez is that people have always tried to understand this book that is alive with Gods breath but are not able to because they try to understand with human understanding.. and it will never be nothing more than words of old.. One must pray before reading this book, and ask for discernment, wisdom, and understanding. Otherwise, you will get frustrated. )I personally have the New living translation-life application) God has all the answers to all the problems we can ever encounter. It is his love letter to us. From marriage- a covenant made by God, to strength and patience in time of needs. Gods word is alive and if we just ask for understanding he will reveal himself, his son, and his Holy Spirit.

Wonderful write... keep seeking and you shall find.
