My God

Sometimes we need a reminder of who God is,  especially who he is in relationship to us. I have recently moved to a new city and to a new school. I have felt overwhelmed at times and when I get overwhelmed I think about God and his promises, also about who he is. Usually afterwards, I then feel comforted. I was doing the same thing today, but today it started to become a rhyme or spoken word. I started writing it down. The result was truly a beautiful representation of My God and still it doesn't do him justice. He isn't just a God he is our God. If you say that aloud boldly, the power that comes from owning that is remarkable. 

I am truly thankful today that we have the privilege to serve a God who is so intimate and loving, who builds relationship with us despite who we can be at times. It is a privilege and honor to be able to call him my God and own that in all its entirety. 

To be honest, it is a simple exercise to do,  just write about who God is to you. I encourage you to do it and see how amazing our God truly is in our lives and why it is a privilege to give him our lives and serve him so passionately.

My All Encompassing God 

September 2, 2014

You are my god who aligns the stars

You spoke the earth to be

You gave life by breathing it into me

You spoke my name to my earthly father

He then passed it on to me

You are my God who does not disappoint

You finish what you start

You constantly bring me joy and peace

You bring me to the place of security

You want to know me for who I am

But you won’t leave me that way

You help me walk through the fire

You fulfill my every desire

You bring life to my body when it is weakened

A body that you have created and know by heart

You are my provide the, giver of everything

You are my God who is all encompassing

You never cease to amaze me

You work all things towards my good

You never hold the bad against me

You see it nailed to the cross on your son

Your son who has provided me a new life

All is forgiven now I need not fear for eternity

For eternity is full of hope and joy for me

You are my God who calms stormy waters

You raise me up when I have fallen

You tell me that I am the apple of your eye

You fill up my well when I am dry

You sit with me when I feel alone

You comfort me when I am missing home

You are my God who can do all things

A god who never fails to bring mercy

You dish out unending grace constantly

You will not change even despite my inconsistency

You know my beginning from my end

Yet you remain faithful through the middle

You are the God the only God

A God that I have the privilege of knowing

You are God, a God I am thankful to call my God
