A Man's Conversation with God
66
Throwing my fists in the air,
Like an uncivilized wild man,
I am calling out to you!
Do you hear me God?
I cannot hear you!
Let me ask one more time!
Do you hear me God?
Can you even see me?
I am but a small ant down here.
Do you even care?
I have heard that you feel every heartbeat of man.
If this is true?
Do you hear mine beating?
I have to tell you my anger is great!
My heart is beating very fast!
Is it true you know the hairs on my head?
I laugh at this thought!
Have you counted every one?
This is hard for me to fathom!
However,
You are God!
I have wondered this earth for many years, in hopes of finding love.
I yearned for love from family, my friends, my lovers, and yes even myself.
What is it that you say?
You have always loved me?
Maybe I just did not know!
You did not tell me anything about this love.
Yes..I know, you gave me a warm bed in which to lay my head.
And uh...yes...you covered my body from the elements.
Okay I hear you...yes... you fed my belly when others were begging for crumbs.
So am I truly selfish?
I know I grumble and growl!
Throwing my fists towards heaven,
Cursing and crying is just the way I am.
I am sorry God but did you say,
"Oh how little I am. Woe is me!"
Are you mocking me God?
Oh that was me talking...sorry...
GOD SAYS loudly, "ENOUGH!"
Okay God...you have my attention, I am listening now.
I hear you God!
What you are telling me is truly amazing.
.
I was created, and loved from the start while yet in my mothers womb!
I am your creation, his art, his love.
I am sorry God for not realizing your love towards me.
Oh what a wretched man I am,
That only a God like you,
Could take a man like me,
And still...
Love me.

Sunnie, Humorous and insightful, which is one of your trademarks! It's so easy to complain, which festers ever-widening circles of complaints. Enough is enough, especially when the comforts are being buried and forgotten under the pile of gripes.
Excellent.
Kind regards, Stessily
Hi Polly,
Me and the good Lord has had many conversations where I felt he said okay stop the whineing get up! I hear you! lol He is surely enough...Thank you so much for wrting such a nice comment.
Take care,
Sunnie
I had to laugh at myself when I read this because it describes my early days of faith so well. I never heard God audibly say "Enough!" but in His Word I read enough, over and over. That He is enough and that I am too, in His eyes.
This was just perfect!
Hello Pandagirl,
Ohhh the conversations I have had with the Father..but later to see..he was there all along just waiting on me to stop my whining and ranting..lol
Thank you so much for stopping by,
Love,
Sunnie
Faith in God...lest us never forget....Another good piece of work, Sunnie.
Hello Lady_E,
Thank you so much for stopping by and your kind comment. Yes I do believe God is always there too...
Take care,
Sunnie
Touching and funny at the same time - with an important message. God is always there.
Lovely Poem.
Dear Eddy,
My heart hurts to think of anyone ever hurting you so badly. You are right you have to find in your own way to move forward. No one should tell you how to do it, because then it would be someone else walking in your shoes and no one can do that. You did succeed and life has a way of taking vengeances on its own. Maybe not at first but in time.
God bless you. Love you much,
Sunnie
So powerful but gentle at the same time.
I have my belief and my faith no matter what; so yes I can relate to this one Sunnie.
Many speak of the gift of forgiving but there have been very many bad people in my life since I was a little girl; and I will never forgive;and this is my right.
However I have thrown them in my' garbage can' where I have overpowered and they and their deeds are not important! I succeeded, they didn't!!They may try brief visits from time to time but they know they are not welcome anymore and depart almost immediately.
This one brought much food for thought and that is good because it helps me to gather my thoughts etc and realise how I have moved forward in my own way.
Briiliant work my friend.
Take care and enjoy your day.
Eddy.
Thank you so much LoveJewel for stopping by. I look forward to reading more of your hubs.
God bless,
Sunnie
oh wow! this is awesome. so powerful
Hi Sue and Prasetio,
Exactly.."quit your whineing"..haha Yes Prasetio..I believe that too..Thank you both for coming by..Have a blessed day,
Sunnie
I love this conversation and I believe that God will lead the way...amen!
Prasetio
Hi Sunnie,
God is love.
GOD SAYS loudly, "ENOUGH!" I can imagine him saying , "Quit your whining." lol
Vote up up and away!
Good Morning Senoritaa
That was my thought how he may react to constant blabbering..lol...or maybe that is just me..:)
So glad you enjoyed this one..
Take care,
Sunnie
Very moving conversation. Loved it when God says "Enough"!!
Thank you htodd,
So happy you stopped by.
Take care,
Sunnie
Thanks for the nice post..awesome
Oh Krystal me and you both..I too feel that way..I think God sometimes just sits back and shakes his head,saying I did not say that..
Yes you are right he is the loving Father that loves you so much.Thank you so much for stopping by..
Sunnie
Sunnie Day,
I really needed to read this today. As much as I love God, I sometimes get so frustrated with religion and what people do in the name of God. I needed to be reminded just how simple it is that He is the father and I am the child.
Thank you,
Krystal
Thank you Dave..I would love to link it if you do not mind. I will head over and try to find it..Thank you again..
God bless you,
Sunnie
Sunnie: I loved the poem and I especially loved and enjoyed the video. Thank you! The video actually reminded me of one of my hubs A letter written by God to his child, you and me. I can't remember the exact title of my hub but it is there if you careto lok it up.
Thank you Ruby..I am glad this lifted you up..
Sending you a big hug!
Sunnie
Another faith filled hub. Sometimes we forget to wait on God and forge ahead, getting lost at times. He is always there..Thank you Sunnie..I needed this today....
Thank you Becky so much for for reading. I am like everyone else questioning life sometimes. You are very kind God bless you my friend,
Sunnie
Bob your comment was so touching. Thank you. Believe me...many things have rocked and made me question my faith through out my life but I never want to come off as a "know it all" I am learning and growing everyday and am sure new questions will come.
Thank you again Bob for your sweet words..they meant alot.
Sunnie
Whether you or I are right in our beliefs - or lack of them - I will say one thing, Sunnie.
You exemplify the very best in what we often hear described as "Christian Values." You talked of my poem as being "powerful," but nothing has more persuasive force for the good than someone who leads by example, as you do. You are one of the most loved and respected writers in Hub Pages
Bobx
What a beautiful, meaning filled poem. Again, I am impressed by your faith.
Hi Dex,
We have missed you too! So glad you are back..look forward to reading more of your wonderful hubs..Thanks so much for stopping by today..
Take care,
Sunnie
Hello Ghaelach,
Wow a third time..I feel honored..I know we all go through many times where we have so many thoughts and questions...God bless you my friend,
Sunnie
Hi Sunnie.
An amazing hub With many questions for each of us to ask and many answers are given. You've just got to look harder. I've just read it the third time an still find new pieces.
Take care Sunnie
LOL Ghaelach
Hi Bob,
I went back and read your poem. It was so powerful and addressed so much that many including myself have questioned at times in my life and still have no concrete answers. While I am a believer, when I doubt and feel the world is looking darker, I pray that my faith kicks in..I put your link below. SUPRISE! :) I believe in freedom of expression and no one can tell another how he or she feels or perceive things. Even when it comes to the Almighty. I was reading a hub last night on why we ask why. It really is a good hub. I tend to ask "how”. I do not really care about the why's I just want to know how to fix it. As humans. I think we should focus more on the how’s. On issues that really mean something. The whys just take excessively long to get answers sometimes...

Thank you for stopping by as always,

Hi Sunnie! Sorry I have been away for awhile but it is nice to come back to such a powerful hub. Truly powerful! Voted up, up and away!
More bootless cries, I am afraid. The Higgs Boson isn't answering as usual.
"Although I'm sorry (poor little things),
No time to save sparrows; mend butterfly wings."
An exerpt from one of my poems addressing "God." and his answer

Dear Calico,
I had linked a different video but found this one..I really loved it too..I am so happy you enjoyed this and it blessed you. Thank you for taking the time to read.
God bless,
Sunnie
I am speechless! This is absolutely amazing! I cried when watching the video! This hub really blessed and touched me! Vote way up!
Dear Mary,
I am sure you are right...That why it makes him the most magnificent wonderful God he is :)...Thank you for stopping by.
Hugs,
Sunnie
This was a very beautiful inspiring Poem, Sunnie. We might be like a tiny ant, but I think He hears our prayers. Thanks for this.
Hi Debbie..thank you..yes thank goodness he doesnt give up on us..
Hugs,
Sunnie
Mike if there is anyone that can make me laugh it is you..I am learning to not be holding a cup of anything..I have expressed your same sentiments at times..haha
Faith is the most difficult of sentiments. The faith you display is remarkable. My conversation goes something like this, ‘oy vie, my turn again’.
Sunnie you out did your self..simply wonderful...it is true God always loved us first...I vvoted up....debbie
Dear Mindseye,
I think we all do at times :)..Thank you for stopping by and leaving such a kind comment.
Take care,
Sunnie
Sunnie, these are thoughts that I have quite often. Wonderful poem, voted up and shared.
Hi Chris,
Thank you so much for leaving such a great comment. I know I have thrown my hands up in the air, feet jumping up and down, crying, well having an out right fit..WHY ME????Then I feel God's gentle voice after having my little fit telling me it will be okay..that he is there..What an awesome God!
Sunnie
I think all of those thoughts are real to most people....I think many of us, at some point in time, have thrown our fists up and wondered...
and I think we get the very response you just gave....humbled.
this is AWESOME Sunnie!!
Chris
Thank you homesteadbound..we all need those little reminders..I usually write what has effected me personaly. I have been that man believe me..but I am thankful for his gentle reminders..
God bless,
Sunnie
Dear Ruchira
Oh my ..I am sure God had heard my cries at times and thought there she goes again blubbering about something..lol Thank you for being real..
Love,
Sunnie
Dear Victoria,
Thank you for letting me know about the comment section not being up..We have all felt that way at times...Just when I think I dont know the answer, I am reminded that God loves me as he does you.
Love,
Sunnie
Dear Audrey,
Thank you for your kind comment.You are so right..love is the most powerful thing..
God bless,
Sunnie
Dear Vocal Coach,
There have been many times where I could not hear God because I was too busy talking..you are so right..THank you for your great comment.
Sunnie
Dear Net,
I truly understand...The questions that all of us have had with some many hurts we have had to go through in this life leave us looking through a window that is slightly cloudy. I wish I knew why some have to go through so much. I have come to the conclusion because we live in such an imperfect world and thus being imperfect human beings, it will always be until the end of time. I only had my Father in heaven to lift me up when there looked like no hope..it is all I had. Love you Net..No thinking required..just knowing you are loved very much is the only words I can say.Gods love is shown to us in many ways through others.
Love,
Sunnie
Sunnie, I hear all your words and adore the way your heart and soul believes, but for me, not an atheist, but my vision is somewhat cloudy. I used to be a believer before my mum took her own life, but not any more. I can read the hope in your words and the love and, everyday I talk with you, your love of your fellow man is so obvious. I will go away and think some more for reading your inspirational hub. But, I can't promise.
Much love,
Net

I really love this. I will be sharing this on my facebook page. Thanks so much for reminding me again ...
haha...I could relate to the above. Many a times, I have thrown up my hands and said...why me!
And, I hear him say...hmmm. Ponder over your deeds and you will realize it...lol
Good reminder Sunnie. Voted up as useful.
Yea! The comment section! I really like this hub. It is so reflective of what many of us must feel at times. Crying out, asking why or where are you, God, not realizing that He's always been there. Many votes on this one, inicluding up!
Love is such a powerful thing! Your love for God shines through in every word here!
This is amazing! There are lessons to be learned from this man's poem. God always hears us. We don't always hear Him. Thank you so much for this inspiring work.
