i really enjoyed reading your poem. it described how many people feel right before they accept that their is a God. Thank you for the wonderful work and i really hope you find the Lord our God. ~God Bless~

God loves you because he made you. He's real. I know you have emptiness in you that no matter what everyone tells you it's not going to go away. See he's the only one that could take all those doubts and that emptiness away. The only thing you have to do is open your heart to him accept him and he'll do the job. God is a gentle man he only comes in if you open the door. So that's my advice for you. God is waiting to come to him.

Dear Jesse, Beautiful poem. I think you have answered your own question though. Who do you think your soul is crying out to? It cries out to God who created it. A lot of people have mistakenly said faith is blind. Love is blind, but faith in God of surpassing intelligence, creativity, power and love, should not be blind, it should be sought after and understood. God told Israel that those who seek Him would find Him, but only if they seek with their whole heart. Jesus told the religious leader that although no one could see the wind, everyone knew it exsisted because there was enough evidence. Paul, a well known follower of Jesus, an apostle and a very educated man, wrote that we should study God to be approved of Him. We can't see the wind and we can't see God, but there is enough evidence, if we look honestly for it and at it, to see that both exist.

This was an amazing poem. I went to my church crying out, asking where he was in my life. asking what he's punishing me for. I realize that there will always be happy and sad moments in my life. without sadness how would there be happiness? he is with us, he fufill's us. i don't know what i would do without my belief in him. what would be a reason for living? he is an amazing being and without him i would be lost. i love your poem. it was touching and it was very deep. keep writing!

Jesse Wintonyk Your poem inspired me to wonder more about what God is all about. You are a very good poet and should continue to write more.

i grew up in this blief of God. i was raised to believe that he existed, and over time it just became second nature. i stopped believing the truth and the realness of who God is and just said what ever made everyone else happy. i got angry with God not knowing why things were going wrong, why my life was so screwed up why everything was turning upside down. I was suppose to be his child, why was he treating me this way. thats when i realized that there is so much more to God than i realized. he wants a relationship with me. he wants me to tell him my problems even though he already knows. he longs to be there for me. he wants me to be his girl. he cares about me like a daughter a lover a friend. trust me if you keep searching and don't give up you will find a love that you have never known from any person. i promise you that

Jesse

Oh, god, this poem is so wonderful. Please believe in god, though, because look at all that talent he's blessed you with. I believe in god, and he makes me happy. Please believe friend, for you will become happier if you do.

I understand why it's hard for you to imagine a God but he's there. I've seen him in dreams, talked to him through my mind, and experienced his miracles. He's great and loving and even though taking his path seems little harder with all the surrounding temptations it's well worth it all. Sorry, I must be babbling. The poem was wonderful, it's seen you're truly blessed.

Tess
