YOU HAVE SHONE A SPOTLIGHT ..

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Oh LORD - how many times have I stood outside - shivering 
In the cold and dark - where -  instead of looking through the window -
I am just leaning on the frame - examining the structure of the woodwork -
when I should be looking through the pane ?
Where You have shone a spotlight - on a gnarled
and weathered - wooden Cross -
Which fills my heart with trepidation - at its 
thoughts of - guilt - and shame - and loss.

But - what is this ? - I feel a  Presence drawing me - to enter
through this Door - and lay aside my heavy burdens -
and to carry them no more .
To receive a spotless garment - and be given a new name -
Accepted and Beloved - and no longer - Guilt and Shame .

I feel a welcome - from an outstretched arm - that bids me 
enter in - to partake of all the riches - and adventures -
that are waiting to begin - with new challenges and wonders -
such as - my eyes have never seen .
With laughter - love - and happiness - of which
I have never known .

Now - Dear FATHER - my Creator - help me always do my best -
With  the gifts You have bestowed on me - so that 
Your Heart will be blessed - and thank You  - for all
that You have done  - and are yet to bring me through .
And may  the Honour - and the Glory -
Always - go to - YOU.


""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

This poem came to me in the midst of a Worship Seminar - to God 
be all the praise - and I pray others will enter into His blessings 
today .
