Praise The Lord!

Today I will address the first chapter of VERSES FROM ABOVE. I look back over the years of my life, and I see God's handprints everywhere. When I was a child living a hard life, He was there; during the formative teenage years that built work and social skills , He guided me, although I thought I was the almighty one. He was beside me even in the tumultuous early years of adulthood when I lost my way on the Road of Right and detoured a few years down the Road of Wrong. Since He had created my inmost being, He was the only one in all creation who really knew who I was; I had no clue. I was like a fallen leaf being swept along on the River of Life with no control over my destiny. I was in that river for much of my life. That could explain the shape I was in when I eventually lodged in an isolated shoreline. It was in that state of being that I was in a listening position and a broken state for healing. Nearing the age of 39, I met the Lord late on a Saturday night in my bathroom floor. My life was never the same after that encounter.
At this writing( 21 years later), I am still on the Road to Right - and know where I am headed.
The poems in this chapter reflect different aspects of or stages in one's walk with the Lord.
(In later blog entries, I will discuss some of the different poems in this chapter; the next entry will probably be a reflection of the second chapter, On Man And Nature; the next entry could be a reflection of the third chapter, Garden Of Abuse.)
