As my Loving God shines down on me
He embraces me with hugs when I need Him most.
I am engulfed with peace when He is near
His expectations are formed in my heart.
Sinfulness can disrupt our relationship
Yet He is always forgiving.
Strict rules become like desires for me
I strive to please him; trying not to disappoint.
He doesn’t demand or use power to control me
Gentle nudges work just perfectly.
Allowing my choices to unfold before me
My mistakes never end with shaming;
Always forgiving.
Touching my heart to heal my sorrow
Feeling my pain to ease my worry
Depending on Him never ends in regret.
Hope, Grace and Mercy are what He offers
My loving God shines down on me.
Beautifully stated, Anne. I especially like the “gentle nudges” reminder.
