My King Depressed, I asked of God, “Who am I? What is my purpose? What is my worth?” Kneeling on the ground I started to cry, “Why have you brought me to this earth?” He did not answer as you may have guessed. Feeling hopeless and lost, I continued to cry. To relieve this pain deep in my chest I decided by my own hand I would die. So I made a plan and I bought a gun. Then tried to decide what the note should say. That is when I remember the love of my son. Who was I to take his daddy away? I dropped to my knees like I did in the start, And said, “From my hell, please God, deliver me.” Without a word He reached down, touched my heart, And opened my eyes so I could begin to see. When I asked God for those questions you see, He did not answer, for inside I already knew. But when I asked for God to deliver me He did, for that is His way so true. All along I carried the answers with me, But I was blinded by Satan’s deceptive haze. Now in God’s light I can clearly see I will follow Him for the rest of my days. Now of His word to all I will spread, And of His glories I will gladly sing. Then when this body finally lies down dead I shall go home…and rejoin my King. Love is the law, love under will.

Hi jlocke, A very soul touching piece and written so well. The Word written on your heart. You have done a fantastic job describing this. This is a great testimony for Him, from you. Probably more than I realize, get to this point...oh to be able to help just one, what a difference we would make! I'm sure you have because you've felt that depth of dispare. Bless you much and thank you for this powerful witness. Marcy |

Very touching poem. You clearly show how God can take a person out of that dark place and show them the truth. Wonderful. And I am glad you know him too. Deb |

J, it is most certain that God has a plan for all of us, and sometimes He allows us to find His answers in His time, which is never our time... I hope you will continue to spread just this kind of message...one of hope... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?...KRJ |

This is a very moving Spiritual crisis and experience you share with us here--at some point in our lives we all go through the Valley of the Shadow of Death-and have to make some crucial decision- You did- made the Right one and found-His help & His presence to give you the Victory you sought & naeeded. God bless you! David WOW- another day of life-and here among friends! Ain't God Grand! |

JLocke, Not only do I admire your courage but stand in awe of your writing ability. This is a magnificent story, standing alone will help others. May God continue to bless & keep you as you are made even stronger through His love. Star |

I'm so glad you cried out to Him for help! Many will just happen to turn the tv on or something at the right time, and save their life by hearing of God. You're an inspiration and a great example. I know God will use you to help others learn of Him. God bless you, wonderfully written! <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. |
