An Epiphany

I've been using poetry as a way to express some of my feelings and this one came about when I started thinking about my relationship with God and all the times I kept running away from Him. In an epiphany of sorts I realized that my life would never be complete or fulfilling if I didn' totally surrender to God's will. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to comment and let me know what you think!

In my brokenness I found you

In secret silence, I cried out for your warm embrace

My loneliness hearkened for intimacy with you

From the depths of my soul I longed to see your face

To know you more and more each day

No touch has ever been sweeter, no joy more profound

In your presence, I’m engulfed with peace

This love cannot be measured in mere numbers

The infinite expression of its magnitude, my heart cannot comprehend

Yet despite all the days and nights of sheer delight

I constantly kept pushing you away

I felt unworthy of such pure undefiled love

Engrafted in my inner most parts were memories

Memories of love lost and broken hearts

That cycle I could not bear to repeat

You seemed so different from the others

You asked of me only one thing

Commitment is what you wanted, Commitment is what you deserved

Complete and total surrender, unrelenting sacrifice

You ask these things because you’ve given them all to me

When you watched your son die upon that tree

Your most self-less act was displayed

You shared the most perfect part of yourself with me

How can I keep running to imitations of the love I’ve found in you?

Okay God I’m ready….I surrender my all to you
