Life Abundant

Today, in this moment,
Nothing seems as it was,
You've made me new,
And I don't want to remember anymore,
The pain, the darkness, all washed away
Hope, comes rushing in.
I can smile. I can breathe.
And You love me just because you do,
And I had never known it could be this way.

Excuses, coincidence, fate, destiny,
I don't believe it.
For you have shown me the truth
Of who I am in You and to You.
Once I believed, then I knew.
That's just the way it works.
Faith that builds exponentially.
And I want wisdom, but don't care for knowledge
Unless it leads me to learn more about You.

The enemy he whispers, knows the weak spots,
Convinces us to doubt, to fear, to lose ourselves in hopelessness.
The deceiver he is known to be, for he lies and gains his power through such.
But You are truth. Infallible, pure, complete truth.
Flawless, compassionate, almighty, complete.

Why oh why do we want to think we know better?
The secrets of the universe, the secrets of creation.
You must laugh at our definitions, our statements, our pompous claims of discovery.
There is nothing You do not already know for You made it all.
And yet still some, who cannot fathom even a minute fraction of Your knowledge
Would deny You altogether.
They feel this makes them more important, more significant.
Yet falling at Your feet and declaring that I know nothing, am nothing without You,
Is when I have felt most important by far.
Loved by You infinitely, despite all of my failures.
God, You are the answer to everything.
And I am so very grateful, and completely humbled, and totally, utterly in love.
