I was reminded today of a poem I wrote a few years ago about God's forgiveness. This jolt in my memory came from a facebook post from author Lysa Terkeurst. It said, " His Truth won't leave you even when your gut honest cries don't sound so Christian." After I read this I chuckled. The small laughter came not because it was funny but because I could see myself in that sentence. None of us are perfect and if you're at all like me, you may find yourself in a few "not so stellar Christian moments," from time to time. But God's love is so amazing; He still washes away those moments and replaces them with His warmth and love. He uses those washed away moments as an opportunity to reveal something great in us.
Rain
I’m taking a journey through the
eyes of God
As He observes the chaos on His
earth
I feel the pain
As He watches in
disappointment,
His children harming another.
I begin to feel water rush
As each single tear falls from His
tired eyes
The rain pours down from the
windows of Heaven
And washes away our iniquity.
I feel His tears begin to recede,
Like a tide pulling from the
shores of existence.
I begin to feel a warm presence
of love
Radiate from His forgiving heart,
Drying the remaining puddles of
our sins.
I feel at peace as I see His
promise of tomorrow
Shining its colors in His
luminous sky.
