The Global God

Down through the ages, poetry has always been an integral part of literary studies and the pleasurable past time and enjoyment of man. The spoken word or poetry is still highly viewed and appreciated by many in today’s society.
These poems reflect my experiences that have certainly helped to shape my character; in them I have captured the various ways in which the “Global God’ has been of great comfort, assistance and blessing to me. I have found in penning these poems the peace of God has always been present and soothing to my spirit. In so much so, that I indeed find myself looking forward to reading them at the end of the day.
In today’s world of chaos and confusion, there is a sense of peace, calm and rest in each piece of poetry. Now I think I can truly say that in spite of all the negative experiences I’ve had they have certainly been the catalyst that have propelled me into becoming a Christian writer.
These poems are my love letters to Him, about Him and for Him. It’s my thoughts and words about this loving, gracious Global God; whom to know and love – is life eternal.
Global God you may ask? Yes! Because in this world that we inhabit, wherever we may live we all face similar situations or circumstances beyond our control; and most interestingly a quest for peace or to know who we are, where we come from or what happens after one dies, these thoughts occupy our thinking. These are questions we all ask ourselves at one time or the other. I have found the answers by getting to know this Global God. Hence, the reason for this book of poems.
Personal experiences have thought me to have complete trust and faith in Him. I can vividly recall when I penned the poem ‘Knowing You’, this was a most difficult period in my life, a time of distress and upheaval for me; as I was praying one evening I realized that my knowledge of this Global God was so limited. It was then and there I knew that I needed to know more about Him and so I sought to do just that. He revealed himself to me in such a wonderful way not long after; and so that was how this poem in particular came into being.
Another poem that has been one of my joys to write is ‘Extremely Good’ for me, this piece tells my journey as a believer in Christ,for the Global God has been extremely good, blessing me firstly with Salvation then bringing me to a wonderful place in Him where I take shelter in His everlasting arms. Being extremely good to me I have enjoyed His favour when least expected. I have felt His protection and security.
All of the poems are of special meaning and value to me in my spiritual growth and development. They are all relevant and significant in my daily walk with this Global God; with each marking a certain event or chapter in my life.
The background to these poems are Biblically based as I have come to know the Global God in whom I love and trust, for it is His Word that I live by and His ways I daily follow to the best of my ability; as ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’
In this book, there are poems to encourage, to edify, poems of hope, of love, poems that tell of the goodness of a gracious and loving Heavenly Father, who desires to love His children, and to have constant communion and fellowship with them. You will feel a sense of serenity within this book, as all these poems were inspired by the Holy Spirit as He led all the way. Penning these poems has been quite an enjoyable interlude for me. It is truly an amazing thing where a thought, an experience or even a word can be created into something as beautiful as one of these pieces; that can touch and hopefully change hearts and lives.
To me poetry is soothing to the soul, moving to the mind and uplifting to the heart and In these poems one is sure to encounter one or the other. Also, there is what I consider a most important factor – that of eternal life. These poems can be considered as a pointer to that.
The majesty and magnificence of the Global God is portrayed in these poems as He has become more relevant in my daily life; more than ever.
Along this pathway, as we journey into the future - into the unknown, not knowing what a day may bring forth, it will be good to consider making these poems a part of our daily devotions because they are not complexed in any way but quite easy to understand and pleasurable company at all times.
As we peruse these pages, it is my hope that you find a soothing and restful place as you come to know more of the Global God in whom I have placed my life. Oh yes! He is able to do exceeding; abundantly more that you can ever ask or think for you, for your loved ones, and all those who place their trust in Him.
I see these poems as a vehicle for the saving of lost souls for indeed these are difficult days in which we live. Each poem is a reminder of who the Global God is, what He can do for His creation and how He is quite willing and ready to be a part of our lives.
So I encourage you dear readers to read and enjoy and let these poems become a reality in your lives as you allow this Global God to manifest Himself to you in a more tangible way.
Blessings!
