Each blog I Write, I Write for You and Me

Each Blog I Write, I Write for You and Me

Blogging


Each blog I Write, I Write for You and Me


How could I do otherwise?
I need you,
My readers.
And, perhaps, you will find a reason
To need me
As well.

Each of us must care for ourselves.
That includes me.
I must care for myself.
The blogs are meant to teach me as well as you.
They’re not meant for me to just write and forget.
They’re meant for both of us to apply to ourselves.

My blog belongs to both of us.
It’s ours.
It belongs to the entire universe.
You and I can learn together.
My blog is a gift to you and me.
It comes from up above.

Does God Want to be My Friend?

Of Course He Does


Does God Want to be My Friend?


Of course, He wants to be my friend.
He’s close to me.
He ought to be.
He made me.

Of course, He wants me to be His friend.
He wants me to be close to Him.
I ought to be.
He made me.

Imagine what a friend He would make.
He could only be
A perfect friend,
Because God does everything perfectly.

I think God would like it,
If I became His friend.
I think both of us would like it.
And the world would be a better place.

What a friend He would make,
Always faithful,
Always there,
Always caring.

What a world it would be!

I Want to be God’s Friend

I Want to be Close to God


I Want to be God’s Friend 

I want to be God’s friend.
I want to be close to Him.
I want a relationship with Him.
I want to get to know Him even better.

Let’s see what the dictionary says
About the word friend.
A friend
Is a person I know well.

A friend
Is a person I am fond of.
A friend
Is a close acquaintance.

That’s what I want to be,
A close friend.
Imagine!
God is my friend.

That’s what I want.
The next poem
Is about what God wants.
What do you think He wants?

Think about it!

I Must Love God


I Trust Those I Love


If I really want to be able
To trust God,
I must get to know Him,
Really know Him.

How do I get to know God?
Perhaps I need to be his friend,
Get closer to God--
Whatever that takes.

It’s all about getting to know God.
The problem now is the words we use.
What does it mean to get closer to God?
Or be His friend?

The goal is to know God.
Whatever words we use to get there is fine.
Get close to God, be his friend,
But just get to know God.

Getting to know God,
It’s the basis for loving God.
The more you love God,
The more you will trust Him.

Know God!

Love God!

Trust God!

That’s a nice combination:
Know, love, trust.

So My Trust in God Will Grow


I Want to Know God Better


I want to know God better,
So I can become His friend.
It will bring me closer to Him.
That’s what I wish.

By becoming God’s friend,
And getting closer to Him,
I will get to know Him better.
That too is what I wish.

He offers all of us His friendship.
It’s up to us to accept it.
I do!
I truly want to become His friend.

Now I have to learn to make that a reality.
I ask God to help me
Become His friend.
Thank You my God for this privilege.

And my Trust in God will Grow as well.

Can I be God’s Friend?

Trust God



Can I be God’s Friend?

We don’t generally think
Of having a friendship with God.
It seems inconceivable.
Me, be a friend of God?
How could that be?

Can I be God’s friend?
Maybe
It starts with knowing God,
And as I get to know Him better,
Love will follow.

After love
Comes trust in God.
Can I be God’s friend?
Yes,
The door is now open.

Knowledge of God,
Love of God,
Trust in God,
That’s all you need
To become God’s friend.
