Sand

Single grains of sand are
Formed from the omnipotent
Genius of God.
He breathes the winds over mountains.
He relentlessly discharges boulders
With stormy rains that
Fragment their earthy minerals
As they tumble down into
Streams and rivers
On their way to the sea.
In a dance of creation the ocean molds and polishes
Each tiny unique grain of sand
‘Til at last they are tossed upon the shore.

A mountain has been moved and changed by
Persistence
Force
And a divine plan.

Love
Begins in God and
Submits to change under
The will of the Almighty.

Real love, like tiny grains of sand
Reflects light
Receives warmth
Remains constant
But submits to change.

His Faithfulness

His faithfulness

Reaches to the heavens of

The entire universe and

Holds the fiery stars

In place.

Though my eye fail to see

Past the brilliance of the sun,

His faithfulness

Maintains the stars as they

Await shadows that unveil the

Truth in whom

I can put my trust.

His faithfulness

Knit me together in

My mothers' womb and

Holds my frail life

In place.

Though my eye fail to see

My inner workings,

His faithfulness

Breathes breath into me and

My very life reveals the

Truth in whom

I can put my trust.

His faithfulness

Speaks a promise through

His Word and

Holds my eternity

In place.

Though my eye fail to see

The future,

His faithfulness

Is trustworthy and

Someday I will see the

Truth in whom

I have put my trust.
