My Journey to God

Pause

Whenever you’re having doubts,
pause and look around.
God’s presence is everywhere
through sight, touch, and sound.
The infinity of the sky
as the clouds form shapes—
A slide show from heaven
showing a wondrous skyscape.
You feel God’s gentle caress
from a warm summer breeze;
Leaving a sense of calm,
putting your mind at ease.
Now close your eyes slowly
and listen to the sounds
Of the birds singing songs;
your soul, God’s peace surrounds.
These are a few gifts
that God gave us free.
Don’t take them for granted.
Pause; listen, feel, and see.
