Power

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. I Corinthians 4:20 (KJV)


For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. I Corinthians 4:20 (NIV)

Your power is beyond all
that this world can comprehend,
like a philosophy or psychology
we try to minimize who You really are,
sweeping You under man-made rugs,
placing You inside man-made boxes,
trying to restrain You with man-made
laws and traditions,
never understanding,
never knowing,
never able to fully acknowledge,
that everything we are,
everything we know,
exists only by Your
unfathomable mercy and grace,
through the unlimited power
of Your Word alone,
that every breath taken is a gift,
which can never be repaid.

Through the power of Your Holy Spirit,
You give me a taste
of a world free from sin,
a world of love and hope,
stripped of all its suffering and fear;

without hate,
without lust,
without greed.

Through the power of Your Holy Spirit,
You help me to understand,
You help me to see,
a world which my mind
cannot fully grasp,
an indescribable place
prepared from the beginning
for those who love You,
a world that leaves me humbled,
perfect and pure,
without words,
a world where I can only
fall down before You;

my Lord,
my Master,
my King,
my Everything.
