ABUNDANCE

ABUNDANCE

To know one's Maker, the one who mysteriously 

fills the depths of the soul,

to choose to follow Him on a journey of faith

is to live life abundantly.

To rest, in fields of soft, green grass,

 to dance freely in lush meadows,

abiding in His presence

is to lavish in His bounteous beauty,

To paddle hard against the turbulent currents of life

to pools of quiet waters, listening to His voice

is to find refreshment and healing

 that soothes anxiety and dispels fear.

To choose right paths where

 truth and righteousness echo His name 

is to experience safety and purpose.

In the midst of a warring world of sadness and dark shadows

a sumptuous table of goodness welcomes one to feast,

finding security, restoration and peace.

To know one's Maker is to anticipate 

blessings overflowing,

to be washed with unlimited grace in

unconditional, unfailing friendship.

Anointed and invigorated by the 

richness of His pursuing Spirit surrounds 

the soul with love and mercy always, everywhere.

To know one's Maker 

is to live forever in the abundance of The Eternal.
