God does not dwell atop just mountains, hills, <br />Nor in far-off foreign places alone; <br />God doesn’t prefer statues of stones but wills <br />His devotees all, sinless heart to own! <br /> <br />God doesn’t want man just praying throughout life, <br />But doing duty well with fortitude; <br />God loves the man who prays to him ’midst strife <br />And lives life with a happy attitude. <br /> <br />God dwells not in worshipping places just, <br />But hearts of men with minds and bodies pure; <br />God loves good deeds, not money that turns dust, <br />And men who, tribulations, can endure. <br /> <br />God’s Nature’s furies are unstoppable; <br />To do great feats, God can man enable!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-god-and-man/
