God Speaks To Me
~ Terry Henning, 2007
In the quiet of silence,
God speaks to me.
In those wondrous moments of serenity,
I finally hear his voice.
I'm sure He's present otherwise,
but I am too distracted to listen.
Then the moment arrives when He beseeches me,
to approach as a child and sit on His knee.
He embraces me,
and admires His creation.
All my secrets He reveals,
yet assures me, I am cherished still.
So battle your demons,
but never question my love for you.
Whenever needed, I will be there
to unconditionally love you.
Symbol of the Cross
(An Easter Poem)
~ Terry Henning
Jesus bent and staggered under the
weight of His load
for all our sins, His burden, as was
foretold.
Up the hill He struggled, in anguish
and pain
yet His love of even his accusers, He
did maintain
His life on earth coming to an end,
as His beaten and battered body up
the hill did ascend,
the ultimate sacrifice our loving
Savior did make
as He knew the salvation of man was
at stake.
All of God’s angels on High
Cried and prayed as they watched
Jesus suffer and die.
Their God of love with suffering and
pain
held steadfast, His mission to
sustain.
The Lord above rained down His tears,
and lightning flashed,
as He watched His only Son still in
anguish from the lash.
His Son as God made man was leaving
here
to return to God the Father, and
transcend all His human fear.
The cross with its three points to
bear
the weight of Jesus who was hanging
there.
With His last breath, commending His
Spirit to the Father above,
to join Him in Heaven as an act of
total love.
Of His own choice and free will He
accepted death.
Resisting all temptation, made
salvation available with His last breath.
The heavenly choir of angels burst
into song,
singing His praises among the throng.
How do we ever fully appreciate this
miraculous gift?
The ultimate sacrifice that you made
so as to lift
the burden of sin, which we carry
within.
As He is raised into Heaven, we are
privileged to be joined with Him. |
