rebuilding God

rebuilding God

A Poem by toza
"

a comprehensive guide to seeing God in your everyday life

"
i assure you:
God is not locked away in churches and
relics, though that is all we seem to know.

see? He is waiting at someone's doorstep,
somewhere;
He is drinking coffee by the window in a curtain of sunlight,
somewhere;
He is a beggar on the streets,
somewhere;
He is eating dinner surrounded by family,
somewhere;
He is going hungry for a week now,
somewhere;
He is a refugee huddling against a wall,
somewhere;
He is holding His newborn child,
somewhere;
He is dying in a hospital bed,
somewhere;
He lacks an arm or a leg or both,
somewhere;
He is a boy who kisses a boy by the
Lord's grace oh so softly, softly, softly and a girl
that does the same.

He is with the poor and the oppressed
and the disabled and the different forever and always,
somewhere.

see? you have seen him somewhere -- not
capital S Somwhere, but somewhere: here, there, here, there, there, there!
"don't judge a person until you've walked a mile in their shoes"
while we have walked only in our shoes, He has walked in all: saw what we saw,
felt what we felt,
has known what we know.

the fairest man is humbled by the Lord.
