God’s Voice in You

It is not always easy to comprehend God’s love. For some people, it remains a mystery, but for others, it is an experience of death and new life that speaks to one’s soul. Expressing this reality, the following poem was written by the author for a friend who was experiencing the first difficulties of Christian life.

Have you ever seen the grass

growing by the roadside?

Have you ever stopped to wonder

how the thorns can bloom into a rose?

Haven’t you as yet discovered

that the great oak tree

sprouted from the death of a tiny seed?

Listen to the voice within you,

telling you “I am Love.

I can turn your tears to sunshine;

I alone can satisfy your thirst for eternity.

And on you, I have a great design

‘cause I am Love, fear no more.

Give yourself just to me…”

Look at how the rivers rush

to become an ocean

It has been for ages that

the stars do shine only at night.

Feel the freedom of the butterfly

after it has been imprisoned

in the cell of a caterpillar…

Listen to the voice within you,

telling you “I am Love.

I can turn your tears to sunshine;

I alone can satisfy your thirst for eternity.

And on you, I have a great design

‘cause I am Love, fear no more.

Give yourself just to me… just to me.”
