Fleeting Existence


Oh God, how great is Your Name!
How majestic in power.
You formed the world with your Word,
And breathed the stars into existence.
There was no detail overlooked
When you formed me, cell by cell.
Man cannot fathom the height nor depth of Your creation.
And how much less can he understand Your being.
Knowledge increases at an unfathomable rate
And yet, we discover more questions than answers.
You, Who made all things and understands all,
Loved us, small and feeble as we are.
Your Son died to cover our selfish sins,
And yet we complain that You don't give us enough
Or that we must give too much to You.
How ungrateful and demanding are we.
So frail and dust-like that our lives vanish in an instant.
Compared to You, we are nothing.
We don't even deserve to exist.
Yet You care about me.
You bless me with gifts, and Your beautiful love and mercy.
Purify my life, Lord.
Lead me ever closer to You.
That I may only bring glory and honor to You
For the remainder of my fleeting existence.

  2. LORRAINE. you left a comment on my blog about your mother and I tried to find your email so I could email you, but I couldn't find it.

    BUT I just wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers. oh my goodness how hard that must be. Only in God shall you find peace, but let it be known that there is a time for weeping your heart out. He knows. He has you. Pour your fears and anxieties and pain into Him.

    And let him fill you up. He is your strength and your song. No matter what happens, God is still good. You are still his child.

    praying for you and your mother. focus on God even if your mother has cancer. focus on God if she doesn't. glorify him in all situations and praise his name. he is good no matter what state of health we are in. love and hugs sent. xx
