Writing to God

Holy, Holy, Holy! 

Lord, I sit here at the kitchen table amazed

when I think of this scene in heaven

depicted in Revelation 4:1-11.

All the wonders and mysteries

All the light, vibrant colors and beauty

Life on earth is merely a blip on the radar.

A shadow

A wisp

It's nothing compared to eternity in heaven.

God, help me be the woman You want me to be.

Show me how I fit into all of this.

I will dare to believe that, despite my faults and shortcomings and sin,

You have something great planned for me

here on earth and in heaven.

I know You’ve given me a special gift with my writing and poetry,

but I also know if You want to use something else, You can.

But I’m a little excited about the possibilities.

I just pray that You gift me to express Your truths,

Your character, Your love, Your intentions.

You are worthy to be praised.

I pray that everything in me,

Everything that I think, say, write, paint, sing and do

will join in the chorus of the 24 elders,

“Holy, holy, holy

is the Lord God Almighty,

who was, and is, and is to come.

¹¹ “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”
