My Lord walks with me and I with Him

One day as I was out for a walk, I found myself feeling like someone was with me. I couldn't see him but I could feel him. His touch, his presence, all of Him. I just walked beside Him in silence but I somehow knew He was hearing me speak. I've had this feeling a few times before and it leaves me so peaceful and worry free each time. Have you ever had a walk with the Lord. It's an amazing time. I pray you get a chance one day to feel it.


A Walk with My Lord

As I walked down the street
there stood a figure in the distance
so radiant and sweet
He was so slender and tall
into his arms I thought I'd fall
As I drew closer his smile captivated my heart
Instantly from Him I did not want to part
I stood as if frozen in time
He reached out his hand
took hold of mine
up the stairs we climbed
No words spoken,
just silence and breath
I wondered if this were my climb to Heaven
and I began to quiver
He tightened his grip as if to comfort me
Across the field we walked in the breeze
The moment was as perfect as can be
 I dared not to spoil it with talk
every few steps he'd give my hand a squeeze
as if to put me at ease
No words spoken just silence and breath
My thoughts he must read
cause His company I sure did need
The feelings of love and tenderness as we walked along
Warmth flowed from his hand to mine
Oh how I wanted time to stand still
then out of the wind something whispered it was time to go
before ours hands pulled apart His gaze met mine
With a smile and a wink I knew I'd be just fine
Then I continued on my way
Back to reality I did come
although there maybe times when it seems I walk alone
My Lord is here with me wherever I am
Every day we have a choice to walk
burdened by troubles
or alongside The Lord free and at peace.
 that day I chose to walk along with Him.











 



Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil; For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

He Never Let's Me Escape His Eye


I don't really have much to lead into this poem. 
Mathew 6: 21 and Luke 12:34 say  "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Where is yours?


Never Letting Me Escape Your Eye

For all the earthly treasures I sought before I searched for you
For all the desires I dreamt about before I desired you
For all times I went alone and turned from the Kingdom
I hang my head in shame

For all the deception I let seep into my heart
For all the greed I let take me over
For all the dishonesty I learned to live in
I bow my head in humility

When I went away, You stayed close by
never letting me escape your eye

For all the times You pulled me back onto my feet
For every time you caught me when I fell
For all my tears you dried when everyone turned away
I lift my hands in praise

For mending my broken heart
For carrying me when I was weary
For giving me the strength to go forward
I open my heart with adoration and thanksgiving

When I went away, You stayed close by
never letting me escape your eye

For all the blessings you shower over me
For keeping me special in your eyes
For being my friend and always loving me
I raise my hands and heart to you

For giving Your one and only treasure
to pay for the world's sin
For sending rainbows and keeping promises
For forgiving deception and greed
I'll trade in all my earthly treasures just to be
held by You in Heaven one day.

Cause When I went away,
You stayed close by
Never letting me escape your eye.


The Lord really is everywhere and with us always. Psalms 139: 7-10 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in [c]hell, behold, You are there.
9If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.

We all have gifts given to us by The Lord God above even before we were a glint in our parents eye. The Lord designed each one of us to have a gift. What we choose to do with the gifts he gives us is what matters. I chose to share my gift with the world. I'm not a professional. I have had no educational training in poetry writing other than basic english that they teach you in school. All my poems are inspired by God's word and the desire to have a better relationship with him. I have also been inspired by life events that God has led me to healing for. I am a mother of 2 boys trying to do my best to please the father and raise my boys to live the same way.
