Dear Child,
You may not know me,
but before you were conceived
I knew you . . .
for I knitted you
together in your mother’s womb.
You are my offspring,
I made you in My image
I was there on the day you were born
you are fearfully
and wonderfully made.
I rejoice over you with singing,
you are My treasured possession
I know all there is to know about you
I even know the exact number
of hairs on your head.
I know when you sit down
and when you rise up
I am familiar with all your ways
your name is written down
in the book of life.
I love you,
with an everlasting love
I am the provider of all your needs
I have thoughts about you
plans of peace, hope and eternal life.
Dear Child,
I know everything there is about you
can you say the same . . .
about Me?

Your words always go “pow” – yet with the softest and most featherlight tenderness! Always drawing-in, never pushing away. Just a wondrous “pow”

The “pow” comes from His “Power” the words from the Holy Spirit the two combine are indeed a witness to His wondrous glory! Amen and Amen ~ Blessings ~

Thank you so much for the nomination I really do appreciate it and it so does encourage me to continue on writing poems about my love for the Lord. But, my blog is a no award blog and so I must decline but I am so grateful that you have been blessed by the words the Lord has given me to share. ~ Blessings in Jesus ~
