Each Night, Each Chat…


Everyday baffles me more,
Not knowing the answers I seek,
So every night I chat to God,
And every night I hear him speak.
‘Catherine, my child I am here!'
He would tell me every night,
‘But God,' I would say, ‘how do I deal with things…
When my answers are so out of sight?'

‘Catherine,' He'd say, ‘trust in Me,
And know this to be true,
One day when you are here with Me,
I will tell the answers to you!'
‘I don't understand can't comprehend…'
I say to him when we chat…
‘Why is it that we have so much evil?
Why do you tolerate that?'

‘Tis not my doing,' my God would tell,
‘But the work of evil all about,
For the devil's work is harmful and bad,
And only ‘you' can eke him out!'
‘How?' I asked this night of Him,
‘Just how can we achieve that, how so?'
‘By resisting his temptation,' He said,
‘And let that evil go!

I gave the brain and thoughts for a reason,
And the choice for all to make,
To stay on the righteous path with Me,
Or fall into the bowels of hell and goodness forsake!
The choice is there for everyone,'
My God did tell to me…
‘But I can't comprehend the reasons…' I said,
‘Why children suffer?  I don't understand you see!'

‘My child, my child,' My God said…
‘There isn't an answer for all you see…
Here on earth, for only in Heaven,
You will get the answers from Me!'
So there we are every night,
Me giving him a headache again,
But it's only because I care for things,
And try to justify children's pain.

I asked him if He got angry at me,
Because I question Him so,
‘Nope, Catherine, not at all,'
‘If you don't ask, you may never know!'
‘So it's ok – for me to question?
And you don't judge me for having doubt?'
‘Not at all, He said to me,
‘That's what life is all about!

If you accepted everything without question
Then you haven't exhausted free choice!
For I like it when I have a person so keen,
Who isn't afraid to use their voice!'
‘Well thank you for that,' I told him,
‘For I like to ask and settle a thought,
For to love and believe in You, my God,
Every avenue must for me, be sought!'

Then again, I often tell Him…
That of course he knows I'm true,
Because after all, I tell Him all the time…!
He's my maker, he knows me through and through!
And because He's all forgiving,
I tell him how I feel inside,
There is no point in not being true,
After all, He knows I will question and never hide!

Open, honest, caring and true,
That's jut the way I am you see,
And I will never be anything less than that,
Not for anyone, and as for satan…especially HE!!!!
I will never turn away from God,
No matter the trials in my life…because you see,
I wouldn't be here at all today…
If it wasn't for Him loving me!

So once again I smiled a smile,
Last night in my bed…
And once again I thanked my God…
For listening to all I said.
