Book excerpt: In Poems of Human Struggle and God's Love, author Margaret Freeman grapples with the issues of faith, trusting in God, and the often uneven path of life. She believes that the awakening to the glory of God is increasing on earth, and she considers all aspects of this through her poetry. From the loving support her sister needed when her grandson was born with health issues ("The Rock") to the disobedience of Adam and Eve ("Shame"), Freeman explores the emotions that we experience every day as we face life's challenges through God's grace. Freeman's poetry gives voice to our insecurities, doubts, and questions--and the idea of Christ-consciousness over self-consciousness, a cooperation with the Holy Spirit that brings us God's mercy and grace during our trials while shielding us from Satan's torment. Only God and his loving embrace can prepare us for our ever-present spiritual needs. Poems of Human Struggle and God's Love encourages us to find the love and understanding that is only possible through a strong relationship with God. The Light Within My soul, it was in darkness. Self tried so hard to win. But the devil was self's master; My spirit locked within. Shut fast the prison door Until friends prayed for me, And in came the risen Lord. When I chose to trust in him, To give up the old self-rule, He gently dealt with sin, Beliefs, and judgements In my subconscious mind. Burnt up by the Holy Spirit, My spirit's free now to shine.
