Run to the Lord

Last weekend, I participated in a Women’s Retreat hosted by the JP II Healing Center.  One of the evenings during adoration I wrote a poem that I would like to share with you.  It was written on January 24th, 2019.

Aa I gaze at you

And you still at me

I know you are there

Begging me to see

The worth you gave

The love you poured

The beauty you made

How you heart soared

That I am yours

No matter what I do

That you’ll welcome me home

When I come running to you

I have forgotten how important it is for me to spend time gazing at Jesus while he gazes at me.  No matter what I have done in my life, where I have been, he will always welcome me home with open arms.  It has to be my choice if I am going to come running to Him.

This past year has brought me many ups and downs.  I spent two months working intensely on my life after hitting a deep low at the beginning of 2019.  There have been moments of utter meltdown, but also moments of completely joy.  The important part is that I give it all to the Lord, no matter what it is.  He not only wants my joys, but also my sorrows.

Are you giving everything to the Lord and placing your life in His hands?
