Poetry On Odyssey: Precious

Most valuable gift.

The more time I spend with you, the closer I grow to you.

The more I think of you, a strong presence of peace fills the space.

The more I seek you, my ability to feel you increases.

The more I thirst for you, I understand you are always here.

At first I was ashamed, for I thought I did not know enough.

Then I was was concerned that too much time had passed.

How could someone who caused so much damage be used to glorify your name?

My thoughts have changed and now I concentrate on you.

My heart seeks the days I see you.

I once put all my energy into to a human.

Thinking an earthly relationship was what mattered most.

That was before I understood the true essence of You.

In maturity I know what Is most important.

Lord, I will not jeopardize my walk with You.

Only what I do for you will last

There is no one who will every know and understand me like you do.

And, I realize that this relationship is a gift.

I behave differently; I talk differently; I speak differently; I even pray differently.

This gift I hold precious and dear.

My salvation is safe and secure.
