My Spirit.

Goldfinch60



Each day I wonder,

I wonder about god.

I know my god, My Spirit,

Is always with me.

It is not the god of religions,

It is the force within me,

That force that holds me,

Holds me within myself,

Within My Spirit,

My Spirit

Who has been with me

From Infinity,

And will be with me

To Eternity.

    A fine write Gold. It is the person of the Holy Spirit living in hearts (and lives) of Christian believers, I believe. However great or small the flame may be, or great or small the flowing stream - both metaphors of the Holy Spirit. I would call Him (includes aspects of Her) God, though there are other gods (small g).

      That Spirit is always there, it is probably the Holy Spirit but the way I am feeling about religion at the moment, especially the Christian Religion, the Spirit is the Force that I called God and has nothing to do with the Christian teachings.
      My Spirit is the force that created the Big Bang and that force, My Spirit, will be there to infinity and beyond.

      Power and moving my friend! Only we know what's inside us and words just mess it up, but yours are very clear.

      My Spirit is the force that created the Big Bang and that force, My Spirit, will be there to infinity and beyond.

      This I will hang on my wall my friend

            Absolutely!!! You dont have to be a victim of some man made church/religion to know there is a 'god/force/enegy/overseer/guardians/positive force' within and around us all.
            Its awful to see christians claiming this is 'theirs' as if it didn't exist until they created it.

              So very true d a, My Spirit has always been with me even when I was involved in Christianity. I still go to Church but I only go there to sing in the choir, if the choir breaks up, which in may do soon, that would be the end of Church for me. (The Choir is getting older and no youngsters are coming into it, there is only one person younger than me in the choir and she is sixty four!)

              Agree with dusk arising. Your poem has also found me at a very particular spiritual time of my life. Enjoyed reading very much.

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you vv, may Your Spirit be always with you.

                Really good points made in your posting today dear Andy - We are all vessels containing spirit which mysterious as this is lets us, when we are quiet, into the secret of what our true Self really is.

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank you Fay, yes we all have that Spirit within us which is our self.

                  Hello Goldfinch60,

                  That was a beautiful and poignant write.

                  I am finding that as a Christian the key is having a true personal relationship with God then everything else falls into place.

                  Keep writing FineB

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Yes that relationship must be personal, once you realise that the vagueries of religious practices and beliefs become non-entities.

                    Very nice poem Gold. I too like you believe in God as creation and we are creation too. We are part of the greatness of God. All that energy. Thanks for your deep writing

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Thank you marijoy, we are all part of that Spirit which we call God.

                      When I think of God I think of Love. They may be one and the same, and if they are, then your heart is filled with enough to last for eternity. God bless you.- Phil A.

                      • Goldfinch60

                        Thank yoy Phil, yes I believe you are write God and Love are totally intertwined.
