Knowledge of God

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counselor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.      Romans 11:33-36

Wandering alone,

destroyed by the moment,

overcome by the magnitude,

afraid of the consequences;

eternally gone.

I have fallen short,

I have been less,

I have not been

all that You created

me to be.

I don’t comprehend the reason,

I can’t explain the why,

I only know through You

it will all work out

in the end.

Without suffering and pain

there would be no relief,

without sadness and sorrow

there would be no happiness and joy,

without darkness and evil

there would be no light and righteousness;

and without You

there would be no hope.

Thank you Lord,

rebuke me when I am wrong,

discipline me as a beloved son,

praise Your holy name forever,

to You belongs the glory;

to You shall I belong

forever.
