TIME IN GOD



   THE ONLY TIME IN GOD
 
I ask God why He doesn't move as He did back then?

I seen Him tapping his arm like he wore a watch, here's where He begin.
 
Who is man to tell me when to move or even how long,

For I AM THAT I AM, I move when I'm moved by prayer and song.
 
 I'm moved when my children worship Me in Spirit and in Truth you see,

I'm moved when my children are obedient unto me.
 
 Then He said,"Son" as a matter of Truth The only time there is in Me, is the time to Me you give,

I give the decision unto you, in all the time on earth that you live.
 
 But be ye not decieved, be wise as a serpent, yet harmless as a dove,

The more time you give, the mor e your filled with true compassion, peace and love.
 For my children you see, you are life, there is so much that you need to know,

That takes time, the time you give unto Me, in your life will show.
 
Ask of Me what you will, knowledge, wisdom, I say ask in faith believing,

Spend time in My Spirit, stepping out in faith and receiving.

    This is a beautiful and inspiring poem that reminds us of the power of prayer and devotion. Your use of imagery, particularly with the depiction of God tapping his arm like he wears a watch, was creative and effective in conveying the message. The concept of "the only time in God" is thought-provoking and encourages us to prioritize our time with God.

    One suggestion for improvement would be to break up the poem into stanzas to make it easier to read and follow along with the message. Additionally, incorporating some rhyming or rhythmic elements could add a musical quality to the poem that would enhance its lyrical nature. Overall, this was a truly uplifting piece of writing that inspires us to deepen our relationship with God.
