My All

           Yesterday started out really good, but by the end of it I was crying with homesickness. As I looked back over the poem I wrote yesterday morning, God remind me that what I wrote when I was filled with joy didn't change just because I was sad.

           He is my joy, peace, strength, love, and hope- my everything- every single day, no matter what I may face in this life.

 My All 5/12/12

All of my joy,

Is in You.

All of my songs,

They come from You.

When my heart

Fills until it sings-

It's Your joy

That makes me smile

Today.

All of my peace

Is in You.

All of my trust,

It comes from You.

When I drop

To my knees-

It's Your peace

That makes me rest

Today.

 

All of my strength,

Is in You.

All of my steps,

Are following You.

When I start

To bend to the ground-

It's Your power

That makes me stand

Today.

 

All of my love,

Is from You.

All of my heart,

Belongs to You.

When I reach,

Until I cry-

It's Your love 

That makes me give

Today.

All of my hope

Is in You.

All of my dreams,

Are resting on You.

When I question,

What's coming for me-

It's Your hope

That makes me dream

Today.

All of me

Is in You.

Everything I am

Is because of You.

When I seek

With all my heart-

It is You

That makes me live

Today.
