The
Reason I Believe
Everytime
I see the beauty
and
radiance of the sun
That
sets behind the far horizon
each
time the day is done ~
And
in the whispers of the wind
the
gentlest summer breeze
I see
the majestic wonderment;
the
reason I believe.
The brilliance
of the sunshine
and
the crispness of the air
The
birds that sing their joyful song
are
heard everywhere ~
The
blueness in the splendid sky
as far
as the eye can see
Reminds
me of the greateness
of the
One whom I believe.
The tempest
in the roaring waves
that
crash upon the beach
And
the softness of the supple sand
that
sinks beneath your feet ~
The
many flocks of seagulls
whose
homes are by the sea
This
awesomeness of beauty;
the
reason I believe.
The fury
in the howling wind
of an
approaching storm
As bolts
of lightning fill the sky
and
the thunder roars ~
While
the gentle rain that fills the earth
also
brings relief
I see
such beautiful refreshment
in the
One whom I believe.
The cry
of a new born baby
the
touch of it's velvet skin
Eyes
wide in such a wonderment
of all
it's taking in ~
The
innocence of children
with
their smiles so sweet
And
I marvel at His creation;
the
reason I believe.
The death
that takes a loved one
when
it seems we cannot cope
And
the times we felt like giving in;
with
the loss of faith and hope ~
The
hand that's on the shoulders
whenever
we hurt or grieve
Are
the footprints there beside us,
the
reason I believe.
The greatness
in His everything
the
sun, the birds, the rain,
Everywhere
we look around us
we see
His face again ~
It's
in every facet of creation
and
in the air we breathe
The
awesome power of the Great I Am
is the
reason I believe.
So everytime
I see the beauty
in the
rising of the sun
With
hues of pink and orange
when
a new day has begun ~
And
with the setting splendor
the
touch of a gentle breeze
I see
God's majestic wonderment ~
He's
the reason I believe.

"Lately
I have been pondering and meditating as to what makes me believe.
Why do I believe? What is the reason I believe? The answer
is EVERYTHING! Everything around us is proof of God's creation
and what God can do! It is His power, His greatness, His glory,
His awesomeness and His amazing splendor. God IS amazing!
And this poem, which I began in the early hours of the morning when I was
trying to sleep, is statement to that. It about his creation,
beauty and us, and everything about Him."
