The humble man argues with God,
But the proud man is a fool.
In all we think we are first,
Yet when we pray we are scared.
The needs of our heart are great,
Yet we speak as though God is small.
The acts of the Lord are many and frightening,
Yet we think our monsters will win.
It is hard to trust His kind intention,
Yet He became a man.
It is hard to believe He has a good plan,
Yet He laid down his life.
Who can stand in His presence?
But we have been told to approach with confidence.
Who could see Him and not die?
Yet we are commanded to draw near.
How do I know He loves me?
I know because He loved me first.

I really like this
Thank you Boomie. Cheers.
Oh Wow and Wow and WOW! I really love this!!
I’m glad to hear it.
love the use of contradictions and the last stanza was so confident, touching and uplifting…
Whether or not they are contradictions is a story for another time, but contrasting statements in pairs are common in Hebrew poetry. Thank you so much for leaving such a thoughtful comment.
The needs of our heart are great,
Yet we speak as though God is small.—
nice reminder of His power and our smallness. You ended it perfectly. Thank you for the reaffirmation this morning. I read this twice.
That is high praise… and it warms my heart. Cheers.
