Most interesting poem and notes, Roy. I do agree that the concept of never-ending space is hard to wrap your mind around. But you are saying (and Mark says) you must believe, do not doubt in your heart but believe. I do believe, but it is hard to conceptualize never ending space :)
We limit ourselves by building things around us - then we start to believe in them, more fully than we believe in things of the spirit - and that is a mistake. We hide within our own constructions, and they take on a life of their own. To be bereft of pride is so difficult, and yet the easiest thing in the world.

Thanks Carol I have trouble too, Faith is as big or as small as one thinks it is, but in our hearts, and thanks, for these encouraging words and great review, blessings, Roy
Comment from Ima L. Ami
This is absolutely beautiful! I believe that God lives in each of us. The walls we put up prevent us from being able to move the mountains that stand in our way. With God, all things are possible. If we truly believe, mountains can be moved, and our paths become clear.

Lol, I'm not Lisa, my name is Suzanne... Lisa left you...years ago :0 Remember that song? Haha! But really, I'm not Lisa :) I am Suzanne aka Ima, and you're very welcome!

So sorry Susanne, don't blame you for telling me off, I get confused sometimes, sorry, Roy

I'm confused all the time, lol, so no problem. There is an old song that I was referring to. I wasn't telling you off :) Btw, I've been called worse than Lisa! haha. Have a blessed day.

Comment from Spiritual Echo
Boy, that scripture could be interpreted different ways, but there are more learned people than me who have probably given it a definitive meaning. To me, it says one of two things. If you don't accept humility on your own, you will be served up the challenges that will force you to accept the lesson. OR--the one I like best...if you can't find your way to that path, someone will push you in the right direction.
At any rate, your poem celebrates both possibilities without mortal fear, provided you accept the lesson must be learned.
Thought provoking work/

It really means, antything is possible if one believes, the scripture is illustrative, the secular world uses these images in the possibilities of basing goals on seemingly impossible images being achievable! If man is supposedly spiritual, these are spiritual, these exist outside of reason. Thanks for the great review, blessings, Roy.
Comment from dragonpoet
This is a good poetic rendering of the promise in the Bible. That what we seek we will find and that we can't bring with us what we make here, so we should not think of attaining but or sharing our goods.
The picture seems to be the path to eternity which we will follow if we go through life humble and contrite.
Keep writing

Comment from heyjude
Roy, good job. Too often we want to play it safe and think
things are impossible. We forget how mighty our God is.
Thanks for sharing that scripture with us.

Comment from LIJ Red
Their dwells --there dwells?
Roy, you put out more consistently excellent faith poetry than anyone I know, and not a bit of it mystical gibberish. Another burst of literate rhyming quatrains...fivers.

Hi Roy,
I don't understand how you can keep writing such nice poetry all of the time. It takes me forever to write one little poem. Of course I'm getting forgetful so that could be part of it. This is another great poem.

Hello Roy;
-I really truly liked your author's notes which are very compelling and appropriate to the writing which both the concepts related to man's acting like a lamb instead of a lion to get his way into heaven and to understanding Jesus' righteous calling.
-all of your rhyming words were contingent and supportive to the meaning and concept of each and all of your line therefore making your reading to flow smoothly.
-and none of your rhyming words will force their labor is helpful in making the reading clear.
- rhythmic metered being tetrameter in the cadence, timing and tempo which was helpful in making the reading clear, fluid and easy.
-definite imagery that was distinctly clear and definitively expressive and vivid be descriptive.
-the picture was very appropriate, relative and supportive to the conceptual theme of the writing.
- thank you for sharing and posting them in the Lord be with you always.
