Let me laud God
Dear God, my God
Our relationship has been rocky.
There have been ups and there have been downs.
I have had middle men peddle me untruths and half truths about You.
I have tried to give You
Of my time, my body, my heart and even my money.
Then You seemed like a baby,
Very moody and to be cared for.
But alas, I graduated from that understanding.
Now I just gaze at You with love
And I discover You more everyday.
Most days I forget how solid You are
And I take upon myself to push things forward.
But unlike they said You are,
Not even that fazes You.
You abide, You are patient with my impatience.
And Your love is soft and oh so big.
It is endless and bountiful.
And I am dipped into it, covered on all sides.
I’m glad I now trust Your goodness.
I’m glad I can now sit at Your feet,
Oblivious, and joyous
As You work things out.
I’m glad I kept coming back.
I’m glad I stayed.
And I’m grateful You never stop being You,
Always with arms wide open for me.
