Why Do You See HIM?



Why Do You See HIM?
By Moses Seiber

Why do y'all see HIM,
As an adoptive ONE,
But, me I see HIM,
As FATHER and son,
As ONE who is there,
Through both storm and rain,
The ONE who is there,
Through both sickness and pain,
My ONE who is holding,
Me whenever I am sick,
And being all my strength,
Whenever I'm held under weak,
That ONE whose that push,
Whenever up I feel to give,
Even that will to go on,
When I feel no other reason to live,
My true ONE who's there,
When of no way I could find,
And the director of my words,
When of none residing in my mind,
HE is that true ONE,
Truly there in my time of need,
Who is just a few to explain,
Why HE is FATHER to me.

Written on Sunday August 1, 2021 because I stopped while I was out on a ride and thought why people place GOD in position of an outsider who adopted them.  But, I see GOD in position of who HE is, DADDY.  My true and first and only FATHER.  The one who was and still is here with me as I go on through my life

    Nice poem of inspirational faith, commitment, and true love of God
    The only way to be free is to submit and obey God's will.
    The simple challenge is to keep the faith and to walk with God
