Taking a break from C. S. Lewis today, I thought I would pass along something I received recently from my friend Wes Roberts. . . .
This God . . .
This God, who watches worlds:
sees my heart.
This careful calculator, counting millions:
counts me in.
This artist, whose canvas
outstretches eternity at both ends;
whose palette outshines planets:
paints my portrait.
This lover, who dreams in universes:
dreams of me.
This creator, whose breadth of vision spans time
and spawns a cosmos:
whose woven tapestry of purpose,
more compound than chaos,
eclipsing complexity,
rolls out like a highway through history;
whose heartbeat deafens supernovas:
This craftsman hears my whispered cry.
This father . . . kisses me.
This playwright,
playing with the deaths
and entrances of start;
scripting the end from the beginning;
knowing the purposes of the play,
watches my feeble audition:
and writes me in.
~Gerald Kelly
And if you doubt the truth of the poem have another look at Psalm 139 and the parable of the loving father in Luke 15 today.
Blessings . . .
