YOU

I never knew who I was before You



I never knew love before You


So I dedicate my entire being to You


Holy, acceptable, sacrifice


Only to You


My Joy, my everlasting Peace


You delivered me from inner turmoil,


The wiles of the devil


You became my armor


Protecting me from the ways of this world


The perversion of the enemy


You are unwavering, always consistent


Never judging, ever present

Love

Whose grace is more than sufficient


In my weakness it is Your strength that is made perfect


You work through me


Molding this mound of clay into a perfection that only You can see


Forever grateful You made me into a new being


Shining through me unto others


You turned me into the light of the world


Spreading Your grace, and Word with every work of my hand


I serve only You


My Joy, my everlasting Peace


Through You they can cease nights of tears


Creating puddles of insecurities, worries, and fear,


Through You they can cease wearing colors like red and green


Knowing only hate and envy, but find joy and peace


Through You they can cease searching for the fountain of youth


But drink of eternal life


Through My Lord and Savior


The Alpha and Omega


My Jesus Christ


Disclaimer: The most important relationship in my life is the one I have with God, over my mother, father, sister, boyfriend. It's crazy thinking how God has molded and evolved me over the last four years, from being semi-happy dealing with insecurities, and low-self esteem to feeling completion, joy, and knowing my identity and claiming my destiny.


This poem is for all you questioned their existence, questioned their purpose in this life....if you keep pressing toward God, trust in him and his plan for you....he will heal all wounds and elevate you 10 times higher than you could have ever done yourself.


A few Scriptural references from this poem: 2 Corinthians 12:9, Matthew 5:14-16, Philippians 1:6
