" 'PERFECT' FATHER'S!?"
© 2004 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book 9}
There are no 'perfect' fathers
in this World in which we live,
For they all have 'limitations'
& 'for our best good' ~ they do not give!
Oh, they hear what we are 'asking'
but do they really know our need?
Especially if they are distracted
or 'shortsighted' ~ yes, indeed!
They may even want to 'buy' our love
or maybe, be too poor to give us 'things',
Yet, if they 'give of themselves' freely
'Joy & gladness' to our heart it brings.
Oh, but there IS One Father
Who will give us a 'Treasured' Gift,
And that is: The Holy Spirit
so we can ~Forever~ LIVE! *
Live with Him up in Heaven
One Day when 'Life' is over,
But, that same Spirit will give us Wisdom *
& 'over us' will hover!
Watching & Caring for our Souls
giving us 'strength & power' to overcome ~ *
All the wiles of the devil
so we won't ~ succomb!
It is His DELIGHT to give us
His Holy Spirit of Love & Faith,
To increase our walk with Jesus
as He Leads us towards The Gate!
Did you know The Holy Spirit
will minister to your DEEPEST need?
All you have to come & do
is for 'OTHERS' ~ intercede!
"Oh, send us Your Holy Spirit, Lord
for You ARE our food & drink,
We are hungry & very thirsty, Lord *
& ~without You~ we will sink!"
Yes, He'll give us 'Living' Water *
flowing through our very Soul ~
If we will become His Children
& never want to ~ let Him go! ~
Regardless of the 'fire & flame'
or even still ~ the 'flood of adversity',
'Testing our Love' for JESUS
Who takes 'great delight' in even me!
Get out of your ~ self
& what you're going through,
Start Praying 'in The Spirit', friend
& He'll show you what to do!
Very soon you'll realize ~ your problems
have been met ~ by Jesus Christ,
As you did 'seek, knock & ask for'
The Holy Spirit's great Advice.
For only The Spirit can answer
the deepest NEED of our very Soul,
That 'daily' Bread of Life ~ JESUS
The 'Master' in Control.
~ HAPPY FATHER'S DAY ~
