Indescribable

To describe him is an impossible task
He is literally everything
And yet so often
We don’t even recognize him
And I ask myself this…
How can someone be “all”
In every way imaginable
But not be revered as such
Are we that full of ourselves
Consumed by the cosmos
The one that He created
That we choose to disregard him
Without hesitation most days
All because he doesn’t suit
Our desirous and covetous needs
I feel I fail miserably
Right in the front of the One
Who gave me my whole life
What does that say about me
What does that say about any of us?

* Just as I finished writing this piece this morning, and was reading it out loud to myself, a freak snow storm came out of nowhere, with snowflakes the size of my fists.  I don’t even know how to describe the wave of emotions that washed over me in that moment.  It was truly indescribable.  God always is…

Thankfulness

I am thankful for the life I have
For I’ve been blessed beyond reason
My creator has been with me
Through every tumultuous season
And that’s the only explanation
For why I’m still here today
Because without god in my life
I know I never would have found my way

An undeniable gift

He has knowledge and wisdom
Beyond logical compare
He understands the very things
In which others aren’t unaware

And yet he can’t always see it
Or understand the how’s and why’s
Which frustrates him immensely
All because of a gift he can’t deny

Just…

bible

Just pray

These are the words I hear you say

 

Just hope

These are words which help me cope

 

Just love

These are the words sent from above

 

Just trust

These are the words I know I must

 

Just live

These are the words I need to give

 

Just try

These are the words which make me sigh

 

Just be

These are the words which set me free

 

Just let go

These are the words I still don’t know
