All feel the supernatural
The smell of nature
the sound of creatures
the sight of sunset
the taste of honey
the touch of love
the cloak of night
the life of day
the colors of seasons
the varieties of things
the creativity of God
the silent actions
the timely words
the private confessions
the humble apologies
the undeserved forgiveness
the compassion of strangers
the courageous few
the gifted prodigies
the faces of children
the pure in heart
the crazy coincidence
the answer to prayer
the amazing miracle
the faith-filled waiting
the longing for eternity. ¹
All feel the supernatural;
look for the magic wherever it’s hiding.
Ecclesiastes 3:11

______________________________
Do you ever wish you could just see God? I do. Then, I would know I’m not crazy to believe in him. I would know he exists. I’ve read many accounts from people who say they have seen God in a dream or vision (specifically, Jesus). That’s great for them, but I never have. I have a feeling I never will. That’s someone else’s need and gift, but not mine. So, for me, I have to supplement what I have read in the Bible and been told in church, and what I feel like are answers to prayer, with other pieces of evidence. This poem describes some of the things that speak to me intuitively about God’s actual existence.
