God Loves Me
by louis gander God Loves Me . When I was just a little child, so many years ago, joy and gladness filled my face wherever I would go. I never had to worry. I had no earthly care. I'd play all day and then that night, I'd say my evening prayer. But then, as I grew older, some pain would fill my face, I'd scrape my knees and elbows - once broke mom's pretty vase. Then passing through my teenage years, I learned so very much, but opinions got the best of me and stole the Masters touch. Years had passed - and decades too - in my tenacious life. Oh, I had pounded my own drum and blew my little fife. Like a tree with trunk and limbs - I knew each branch, their twigs. I grew in all directions - in twisted zags and zigs. As God exposed His beauty - in me, in every leaf, I soaked up all that certainty, with faith in my belief. One by one leaves opened, full proof for all to see - but I forgot about my roots and what God's plan might be. One day sitting on my throne - in educated bliss.... I wondered (Bible open in my hands) what secret did I miss? I panted in my studies. I prayed in earnest pleas.... then it hit like a ton of bricks - and crushed me to my knees. My mighty tree just crashed in vain. It timbered from the sky.... Yes, only God knows everything every truth and lie. God found that long lost child once more as tears poured down my cheeks, and I found that special joy again. I listen when He speaks. I follow in His footsteps. I let his Spirit heal - and once again, as long before, the Master's touch I feel. In faith I lay me down to sleep - my deathbed He can see, and nothing really matters now, except that God loves me. 2007 louis gander Copyright 2021 by louis gander.
