God's Gift

I am about to post the third poem I wrote that I intended to post a couple of days ago, but posted a different one instead. I call it "God's Gift." It is kind of describing God's gift of freedom and love. I hope you all like it. Please let me know what you think of it when you are done reading. It took me about five minutes to write, in case you're wondering. Here it is:

God’s Gift

A heart full of unending pain,
Felt trapped by a heavy chain,
It longed for peace and rest,
And yearned to be blessed,

As a tear trickled down a cheek,
It felt hopeless and terribly weak,
Then it caught a glimpse of hope,
And the many ropes of pain broke,

Jesus renewed a pained heart,
His gentle love will never part,
His hope will always endure,
And He will stay forevermore.

Okay, so how was that one? It's one of my favorite ones that I've written. I wonder how many poems I have written in my whole, entire life;) I have the perfect verse today for the poem. I was looking in my Bible this morning and came across this verse. The verse meant a lot to me in words I cannot describe. It may sound creepy, but this verse is really important to me. Here it is:

Matthew 11: 28-30

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.

Okay, so do you guys think that verse was totally awesome? God is so great, isn't He? Okay, so how was the poem to you guys? Did it flow? Did it have a spiritual meaning? Well, I hope so. Writing poetry to me is a way to express myself. It describes God how I see Him to me. How would you describe God? I would describe Him as my King, my Friend, and my Savior. Of course, no words could describe how God is. Isn't God good? That's all I have time for today. Thanks for reading and please comment!

God bless you!
