I Am There...

I Am There...      Do you need me?I am there.You cannot see Me,yet I am the light you see by.
You cannot here Me,Yet I speak through your voice,You cannot feel Me,Yet I am the power at work in your hands.
I am at work,though you do not understand my ways,I am at work,though you do not recognize My works.I am not strange visions.I am not mysteries.Only in absolute stillness,beyond self,can you know me as I am,and then but as a feeling and a faith.Yet I am there.Yet I hear.Yet I answer.When you need me,I am there.Even if you deny me,I am there.Even when you feel most alone,I am there.Even in your fears,I am there.Even in your pain,I am there.I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.I am in you,and you are in Me.Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me,for only in your mind are the mists of "yours" and "mine".Yet only in your mind can you know me and experience Me.Empty your heart of empty fears.When you get yourself out of the way,I am there.You can of yourself do nothing,but I can do all.And I am in all.Though you may not see the good,good is there,for I am there.I am there because I have to be,because I am.Only in Me does the world have meaning;only out of Me does the world take form;only because of Me does the world go forward.I am the law on which the movement of the stars and the growth of living cells are founded.I am the love that is the law's fulfilling.I am assurance.I am peace.I am oneness.I am the law that you can live by.I am the love that you can cling to.I am your assurance.I am your peace.I am one with you.I am.Though you fail to find Me,I do not fail you.Though your faith in Me is unsure,My faith in you never wavers,because I know you,because I love you.Beloved,I am there.   --James Dillet Freeman  My favorite poem,since it was given to me.I hope it brings you as much faith and hope as it has brought me.God is with all of us.Jen

Don't ever apologize for being honest.I would prefer for people to be honest,not phony.Thats one on the many things I love about you,that your honest.Your also genuine,loving,and funny!Your a rarity!I think it more reassured me that there is a God,the poem.The only thing that would ever bring me true comfort,is to hug my Mom,and that won't be happening anytime,soon.Don't get sad,I even have some tears in my eyes writing it! Big Hug,your so great!God bless,Jen
