The God of Love

I am proud to be called your father

I know you can be a great woman of God

I love you!!

Words that a father has repeated to a child

each evening as he tucks in the blanket

and plants that kiss on an expectant forehead.

Sweet words to the listening ear

Abba.

Daddy.

I call out to you

and you are there for me

me...

again and again.

Like a little girl

full

full of expectation and hope

and you dp not disappoint me

You are so faithful and true

so honest and real

you who formed the universe and each twinkling star

you spoke it all into being

and yet you call ,...

even me

Abba.

Daddy.

Thank you

for holding me so close and answering my prayers

thank you for loving me

with a never stopping kind of love

for never , never, not for one single second

thank you for never giving up

and loving me despite

and I too want to look into yours eyes one day and say

Jesus.....

we made it

you and I

Psalm 139

9 O Lord, you have searched me and known me!  2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
 you discern my thoughts from afar.
 3 You search out my path and my lying down
 and are acquainted with all my ways.
 4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
 behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
 5 You them me in, behind and before,
 and lay your hand upon me.
 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
 it is high; I cannot attain it.
 7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?
 Or where shall I flee from your presence?
 8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
 If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
 9 If I take the wings of the morning
 and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
 10 even there your hand shall lead me,
 and your right hand shall hold me.
 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
 and the light about me be night,”
 12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
 the night is bright as the day,
 for darkness is as light with you.
 13 For you formed my inward parts;
 you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
 14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
 Wonderful are your works;
 my soul knows it very well.
 15 My frame was not hidden from you,
 when I was being made in secret,
 intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
 in your book were written, every one of them,
 the days that were formed for me,
 when as yet there was none of them.
 17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
 How vast is the sum of them!
 18 if I would count them, they are more than the sand.
 I awake, and I am still with you.
 19 Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God!
 O omen of blood, depart from me!
 20 They speak against you with malicious intent;
 your enemies take your name in vain.
 21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
 And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
 22 I hate them with complete hatred;
 I count them my enemies.
 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
 Try me and know my thoughts!
 24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
 and lead me in the way everlasting!
