by Hazel Straub Although you may have felt unimportant and insignificant, God has not forgotten you! He gives victory to the weak. The only requirement is believing, totally trusting and relying on him, with all your heart (mind, will and emotions) and in all your ways. Surrender yourself, into God’s care and know that he […]

Naturalism
Naturalism they call it
Morality relative only to
what I think
but Wait –
that changes
each time I blink
A world so cold
Post modernism has told
Us, We, Man, no longer
Have a Soul!
All that exists
Is only what you can see
or touch
All to me is only physicality
So should I run the risk
Of losing all meaning
To all life I see which surrounds
Are We truly simply dust
Made up only of elements
Found within the ground?
There is no right or wrong
Found within nihilism’s siren song
Only a birth & a death
For each of us
Then we will no longer swim
In this life’s stream
We simply cease to be.
How depressing!
I am glad I do not believe
What I am told
By your world
I believe a holiness, a soul
Dwells within
As most ancient civilizations
Believed
We are seeds
Of a Holy God much greater!
Angel Dance
Angels dance lightly
On gossamer’s chords
Spun from joy’s beauty
As beams of your grace
Are flung brightly
You watch in delight
As your glory, light
Pulsate, glow
Within the energy
Of your eternal might
Longing to embrace
A world laying waste
Homes, families
The world they walk on
Listening to dark demons’ songs
So, as your angels dance
At your feet
I too give a longing glance
To pray for my world
To keep,
Follow the light of God’s face
To return to the warmth
Of His everlasting embrace.
I know people do not particularly like to hear about supernatural experiences with God, but I tell this only hoping to reinforce your faith in a living, breathing God. This happened to me right before my first round of cancer treatments.
I have obstructive sleep apnea. It’s where your soft palette in your throat collapses down over your airway, and you stop breathing while you are asleep. Before I knew how dangerous it can be, I think I stopped breathing, and my heart stopped because all of a sudden one night after going to sleep, I was suddenly awake, fully conscious and in a very dark place. I had no physical sensations at all. All I could see was a spiral of really beautiful white clouds trailing off into the distance.
I did not want to look at the end of the spiral because the sensation came over me that if I looked at the end of it there would be no going back, but I had no choice. I had to look at the end.
I looked and that’s when it happened. Immediately, I was in the presence of the light. It was everywhere, and it was overwhelming and brilliantly bright. The colors of the rainbow were moving back and forth constantly through it. I could sense a presence, an intelligence, a someone in or behind the light but I could not see them. I tried to look away because it was so bright, but again I had no choice. I had to look at the light so I turned back toward it.
That’s when it felt like someone slammed me up against a brick wall, and with a sudden hard jolt I was back inside my body and back on my bed trying to figure out what had just happened to me.
I believe my heart stopped, and for a minute or two I died and was given a brief glimpse of God’s glory before He slammed me back into my body. We are promised a glorious resurrection life if we stay faithful to Christ our Lord. I hope this will help you in your faith walk. Praise God and have a blessed day!
