The Divine is in all things,
Fish, flower, bird, tree.
In you, in me...
He provides what we need,
But asks one thing...
Don't expect Him to come
If you don't leave the door open.
Open that door,
See that Light,
And the Divine will come into sight.

This is really good. I liked it quite a bit.
He provides what we need,
But asks one thing...
Don't expect Him to come
If you don't leave the door open.
this is nothing but the truth here... i am fairly religious... not as much as i should be, but i believe in God, i pray to him all the time, and i follow most ways of the bible. a lot of people take his forgiveness to hand and use it over and over so they can commit sin after sin... and eventually people lose faith... these lines explain him so well. great job! -
aww this is good. it reminds me of the famous painting of Christ knocking at the door, but there is no door handle and if you want Him in your life, you have to be the one to open the door. Great work!!!
