Hello Roy,
This is a fine poem with an interesting group of rhymes
I like the variation and variety of words used
An excellent message, too.
I hope you are doing alright
The best one can do is to be themselves
Best wishes to you
Robert

Very well written, I enjoyed this. I think that perhaps a lot of introverts can really relate to these thoughts expressed eloquently. Is it not a wonderful gift to partake in the writing of others, especially poetry which is a window into our souls? Thank you.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hi Roy, How lovely you put it in this writing - God loves us despite our faults. You have worded it beautifully, personalised, in good aabb rhyme. Your first stanza is so lovely it could stand alone -
God sees me naked and exposed,
without a mask as my abode.
And yet He loves me as I am,
His dearest child, His special lamb. .... Lovely as always - Dorothy

There are times when the world seems set against us and I'm sorry to hear that you've been going through a bad patch, Roy. You poem is a fine expression of your faith in God and the comfort you receive from knowing that he is unconditionally accepting of us as we are.

Comment from Sis Cat
You write among the finest poems of faith on FanStory. You speak from experience, weaving it into a prayer, a praise, a sermon:
Which one of you can love his foe,
and with that love stem taunting's flow.
His love He gives without regret,
because in Him love's shadow's set.
The rhymes support your core message but does not overwhelm it. I feel your gratitude and resilience during your trying days. I pray they get better. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from nomi338
Our common enemy Satan the devil, has certain tricks in his bag that he often uses.
#1 Make a person feel unloved, scorned and rejected.
#2. Cause a persoen to become provoked, anger brings out the worst in all of us.
#3, Fill us up with undo and unwarranted pride, which will soon be followed by a great fall. (Are you listening ploitical leaders?)
#4. Sexual imorality. Movies, television, advertising media, young females out on the street. We must wear blinders or make a covenant like Job in order to not see all of the shocking things on display in today's world.
I could name more, but I know you understand. God bless and keep you, my brother in Christ.
