I was looking through some old emails just now and I came across this "poem". I wrote it back in high school so it's kind of weird reading it now. It's not very good but I think it says a lot about where I was with the Lord at the time.
All these years you've helped me through, why is it that you love me so?
I call on you in times of need, in times of pain, and in good times. What is it that makes you answer my call?
Why is it that you love me so?
So much like a Father you watch over me, so much like a Mother you comfort me, so much like a Friend you understand, yet so much like a doctor you heal my pain. Why is it that you love me so?
To hand pick my family, my friends, my love, did you make it perfect just for me? Why is it that you love me so?
So much about you I've read and know but so much to learn I've got to go.
I'll never fully understand why it is you love me so, I'll ask you face to face some day and 'til that day I'll love you so.
Anna, you've got to read "The Shack". It's a novel that explores the different attributes of God, and how He meets us where we are. Kind of like your line about him being a Father, Mother, Friend. Pretty insightful.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Becky. You should read the Shack. I think everybody should. That's a cool poem. It's always interesting to read yourself from years back. How neat to see your own growth with the Lord. Thanks for sharing.
