You Are God....I am Your's

"See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are." (1 John 3:1) "We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.  God is love..." (1 John 4:16)

I'm writing my own version of poetry this month.  This one is examines how God touches our life.

My thoughts escape me    when I consider Your love My sight fails me    when I behold Your holiness My lips humble me    when I proclaim Your name My ears silence me    when I hear Your voice You love..I am in awe You shine brightly...I am overshadowed You speak...I am listening You are God...I am Your's When I ask     You hear my words When I call     You answer my prayers When I cry     You wipe away my tears When I  hurt     You heal my wounds You love..I am in awe You shine brightly...I am overshadowed You speak...I am listening You are God...I am Your's In the shadows     You illuminate my path In the silence     You comfort my lonliness In the confusion     You direct my thoughts In the shame     You forgive my sin You love..I am in awe You shine brightly...I am overshadowed You speak...I am listening You are God...I am Your's

Father God,

Thank You for loving me when others couldn't.  Thank You for teaching me how to love, how to forgive, and how to live.  Your grace covers my life in so many ways, that I am continually amazed.  You fill me with joy that I cannot describe.


I pray for those who need You in this moment.  Shower them with Your grace.  Speak Your words of healing and comfort.  Some are grieving, some are sick, some are hungry; may we in faith serve those in need through love.  Thank You Lord for all that You are, and all that You do on our behalf.  Amen.
