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!
