Here's a "poem" I felt led to write. Hope it's a blessing! Brian
SERVING
I'm serving a God whose love never ends.
I'm serving a God who won't hide behind the fig leaf of, "but I gave you free will!"
I'm serving a God who will talk with me even if we don't agree on everything.
I'm serving a God who is committed to His creation.
I'm serving a God who has the power to just blot out the mistakes His creatures make.
I'm serving a God who will love even when His creation doesn't praise Him.
I'm serving a God who isn't offended if one of His creatures doesn't believe in Him.
I'm serving a God who understands that His creatures will never believe in Him unless He reveals Himself to them directly.
I'm serving a God who overcomes His enemies with love.
I'm serving a God who knows that He must find His lambs, and not they who must find Him.
I'm serving a God who takes full responsibility for all that He has created—good and evil, angels and devils.
I'm serving a God who loves unity, not division.
I'm serving a God whose "chosen people" includes everyone—even you and me!
I'm serving a God who loves without demanding love in return.
I'm serving a God who saves His creation because He loves them, not because they love Him.
I'm serving a God whose plan to save the whole world has succeeded.
