A Definition Of God
By: Rafael Ingles
My God Fills the gap in the ugliness of the human faceHe subdues the faults of imperfection-
This God searches, and makes His home not in placesPure and holy, but in isolated caves where
Forlorn sinners have found iniquity a fickle master
He comes uninvited-Man’s craftiness He matches with candor;
Man’s earthly passion He matches with the benignGlow of omnipresence. When I am most good
He can not be found for He and I loseOur identity. How else can the human face
Assume the perfect configuration
My God moves in when all else have fled:Like the wind, He stirs wilted leaves to life and makes
The plant more vibrant. He suffuses desolate landscapesWith the barely perceptible warmth that shuns
The stunted body to find haven in mind.
Yet His too is the willingness of the Universe.His power is unobtrusive till He seems no farther from
Myself than me, no farther from yourself than you-Where I discover my faults, there He is
Waiting to make amends.
God is as human as economics or mathematics, heIs supply and demand, or the algebraic equation which
In the final analysis is naught equals naught.Within the geometry of love, my God reigns;Where the spheroid whirls He is the vortex
Without beginning, without end.
My God worships me not merelyAt times of peace nor in the exclusive ways
Of the church, My God worshipsMe, or else He would not have conceivedHimself to atone for my imperfect self;He comes uninvited, He is every where-
Making amends, making amends.
Fajardo, Lady Coleen M.
Heaven and earth He created,Darkness and light were separated.
In His own image, He formedAs in dust, man were molded,
Breath gave breath, that’s how it all started.
I didn’t asked, but He gives,I never shout but He always hears.
How generous You are!I never gave Love, a rebel child of YoursBut still all of your love to me You pour.
As in perfection, human fail,My minds’ conquered by vile and vainHoliness been dishonored by creations,So a pure life has been exchanged for
our salvation.How loving You are Almighty One!
As now I realized how grateful I should be,As your likeness I wanted to be.
Murmur no more, past pains I trashed,In me, fear and self centeredness be must
be vanished.
Oh almighty God, all of my praises is unto YouAs once a sinner I was cleansed by You
Proved that perfect love truly exist,Because humanity still exist!
