How Much Longer


                                                              

I bow my head in humility.  I cry to you my GOD.
  How much longer must I suffer this pain? How long must I go on.

But then a thought came over me and this is what I heard.  
Intently I paid more than the usual attention to Jehovah's very words.

Close your eyes my special one and peer beyond your conscious mind.
Take my hand and walk with me in my earthly paradise.

In all amazement with eyes so wide the beauty peace and serenity I see.
 In excitement I let go of God's own hand running through life's garden I forever long to be.

I yelled out Oh Jehovah! In laughter spinning and twirling in all the ray of the sun.
Streaming light through the flowers, plants and trees as the birds chirp a happy song.

I see Jehovah in all my excitement. He's delighted with a smile so big.
Like a happy and proud parent upon seeing my joy due to his promises for me he did.

As I ran through the crystal clear flowing stream. I rubbed and embraced any animals in my sight.
 I picked a berry from a vine right next to me, as I hugged myself with happy tears so tight.

Then Jehovah said come, come and sat me below a massive tree;
Branches gracing the skies above providing comforting shade for me.

Jehovah than said my dear enjoy your blessing you now live to see;
for enduring your pass life struggles, pain and unhappiness while genuinely loving me.  


Though many times it was hard and even overwhelming for you.
The pressure when others couldn't understand cause much distress for you too.

But you kept calling out to me with much faith, you kept crying out these words;
please help me dear Jehovah I don't want to fail you and your words I truly heard.

I know this because I observed you each and everyday of your life.
No matter whether you were knocked down you got back up in the face of all your strife.

You trusted me when you didn't have too
You sacrificed as best as you could
You loved, cherish and obeyed my son,
just as I knew you would.  
Your gift offerings were sweet odors to me
Your dedication to me you strive to keep in tact
And these are just a few things I saw in you, Berine
And are my God given facts.

So whenever you're feeling troubled as you wait for the new world to come
 Call and rely always on me whether in good times or bad and I'll be there,
when it's all said and done.

Thank you Jehovah!

By Berine.
