The Giver Of Life
January 29, 2013
If God is "The Giver Of Life",
The surely it's clear why
I don't talk to Him?
In the very essence of His name,
It is made clear that He allowed this pain.
Maybe I'm just too stubborn,
Maybe I'm too weak,
Or maybe it could just be that I don't
Care to seek?
I don't know,
But just don't tell me that you Wouldn't've done the same-
That's not fair;
You'd be insane.

Same to you, I never got notified that you commented, so sorry for taking so long to reply! And thank-you! And I know deep down that He didn't cause the pain, but it's so much easier to believe that. And lol, Sadie is my middle name, from my great-grandmother who was 100% Native American and needed an English sounding nickname, so Sadie it was! :)

hey, im sorry, i never got notified that someone commented on my poem! >.< But thankyou! and no problemo about the sermon. :) It was meant from the heart and much appreciated. Thanks again!
I like this poem because this is a common thought to many. God allows suffering, but he doesn't CAUSE it. He hates to see people in pain. The one who causes pain today is Satan the Devil. Soon God will rid of him and things will be peaceful. Keep your hopes up:)
Hiya! First of all, I loved your poem, it reminded me of troubles I've faced and when I've wondered why God let it happen. But it's normal, all of us feel let down, and we hav to remember something. God gave us free will, which is good but comes w/ consequences... Things don't always happen as they should and He hates it when we suffer.. — sorry for the sermon;) I'm just genuinely trying to help (and as I said, amazing poem!!)
