Taking a break from C. S. Lewis today, I thought I would pass along something I received recently from my friend Wes Roberts. . . . This God . . .
This God, who watches worlds: sees my heart.
This careful calculator, counting millions: counts me in.
This artist, whose canvas outstretches eternity at both ends; whose palette outshines planets: paints my portrait.
This lover, who dreams in universes: dreams of me.
This creator, whose breadth of vision spans time and spawns a cosmos: whose woven tapestry of purpose, more compound than chaos, eclipsing complexity, rolls out like a highway through history; whose heartbeat deafens supernovas: This craftsman hears my whispered cry. This father . . . kisses me.
This playwright, playing with the deaths and entrances of start; scripting the end from the beginning; knowing the purposes of the play, watches my feeble audition: and writes me in.
~Gerald Kelly
And if you doubt the truth of the poem have another look at Psalm 139 and the parable of the loving father in Luke 15 today. Blessings . . . |
