~ A Home For Us ~ All God ever needed Was to keep us safe Tucked beneath His heart, Until we are given wings of our own To fly upon His heights In the wonders of heavenly joy Perfectly at home. All God ever wanted Was to keep watch, Until we could see beyond To His place of glory Never more to be alone But safe in heaven Where we will feel at home. All God ever hoped Was to teach us to fly His perfect wings to own, Of enduring faith Against the winds of time And flowing currents Until we are at home. All God ever sought Was to hold us from falling Thus finely honed, Fragile no more But eternal, to live forever In our beautiful new home. Soft Whispers for you from Derry's Heart Poems © 2005 heartwhispers@iinet.net.au I think that one reason many of us do not really take into the marrow of our bones this message of the unconditional love of God is this: We dwell excessively on ourselves and on our mistakes. And so we keep asking, 'Who am I that the Lord should love me?' Instead we ought to be asking, 'Who are you, O my God, that you love me so much?' The Lord knows and accepts that we humans are mistake-makers. John Powell He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:29-31   Share This Page With Friends Need help sending this page? Click Here
