God
Is here
He’s always near
I feel His presence
Listen
God
Speaks clearly
Read His Word
And follow His Commandments
Obey
God
Knows best
Open your heart
Feel Him inside you
Trust
God
Is patient
He always understands
He waits for us
Follow
(Relax… God’s gotcha covered)
(Yes, “Where He leads me I will follow –
with JOY!)
Thanks for visiting JanBeek today.
I’m headed for church this morning.
I hope you are, too.
See you later.

nice and beautiful mam….:)
Jan, I like how you captured the essence of God’s will in our abilities to listen, obey, trust, and follow . . . God! Your Elfchen series work so well with this theme.

Thank you, {{{Charlotte}}} – I am glad to hear that, but I know so little about poetry myself! I am a work in progress!

I love acrostics. I yearn for more poetic forms to express the essence of my ideas!
