GOD So Loved Me

New American Standard Bible, John 3:16

 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life." (I am putting this portion in green writing and in italics to emphasize the fact that this was not a part of the quoted text. But I want to make three quick points and then I will leave you to enjoy the poem that I penned for you this morning.)

1. Loved the world - This means me, too, as I am a part of HIS creation, HIS world, HIS child.


2. Everyone who believes in Him - Here, again I am included, as I have given my life to HIM


3. Have eternal life - I get to go home with HIM when HE comes back and dwell with HIM throughout all eternity!

 

GOD So Loved Me

In the garden of inspiration

As I pondered over my reading in prayer

An application for John 3:16

Came to me while there.

You see, as inconsequential as the world

Might deem my life to be

I am my FATHER‘s child

And proud to be me

For, He orchestrated the

Events of my life just so

Because there were places that HE

Knew HE wanted me to go.

HE could have made my daddy

Stay with my mom

But HE did not order it done because

HE knew of my future, in

That I would become

A mustard seed that would grow into

A huge tree whereby others could see

The God that dwells within me

When they nestled among the

Boughs of my faith tree,

The latest of which is

The Tallest Mountain Trilogy

And I, all I can say is, “Look at

What GOD hath wrought through me!”

And so, in humble gratitude I say,

“Thank YOU, DEAR GOD, for the

Privilege to serve, by YOUR using me

As a part of YOUR plan to keep

Blessing all of humanity.©
