Beautiful Because You're In It

I'm safe and warm,

tucked in tight

like a baby swaddled

on a cold, windy night.

My feelings and emotions

calm

and my mind stops its spinning.

No alarm.

All is well in Your arms.

Peace that I've heard in old-fashion tales

breathes its reality on me.

I settle in to know Him

without anxiety.

No pressure to perform.

No need to fix my hair.

I never knew acceptance

until I found it 

right here.

I start to contemplate deep thoughts like...

I think I have been lied to

by men who know religion,

but do not understand 

how to live in communication

with the One who joyfully sings over us

and works day and night 

to draw us into His communion. hmmmm

Oh, this mystery divine!

We only see in part.

But I'll take that part

and stare at it for hours.

And then ask for more

revelation and power!

Every word of Yours is honey.

Every syllable is true!

You're like a string I just keep pulling;

I can never get to the end of You!

You make my days better.

You give me purpose and direction.

You know how to tell Your stories

through our everyday interaction!

How do you do it, Lord?

You're such a poet!

And I recognize my life is beautiful 

because You are in it!
