Daughter, why do you think
You will miss my direction?
You have heard me before
So clearly,
And you knew.
Why do you think
You won’t hear me again?
Daughter, you do not have to be
Good enough
To hear.
You do not have to
Measure up
To be near.
You cannot earn
My favor, even when
You believe.
I give to you because
I love you.
Oh, daughter, nothing you have
Is from you.
Nothing you have
Is from your hands.
What you have
Is given.
Material and immaterial.
Tangle and intangible.
Visible and invisible.
Seen and unseen.
Felt and unfelt.
Heard and unheard.
It all comes
From me.
I knew,
I know
you, and
Those I have for you.
I knew,
I know
How it will start,
How it will end,
How you will
Know.
See Deuteronomy 33:2-3; Psalm 139; John 6:22-40; John 7:10-24; Ephesians 2:1-10; Philippians 1:6
These links share just a glimpse of the story God is telling us. When you have time, read a chapter or two around the verses to get the context and see the whole picture. My preferred Bible translation is the New Living Translation, so all links will be in that version.
