One glimpse of His Glory draws us to seek God. Then, one touch of His Grace transforms our heart. At least it should; yet, God has left all around us glimpses of His Magnificent Glory and touches of His Grace. Meanwhile, we turn and seek other things; instead, of following Him. One Choice and we could be filled with all His Joy, Love, Peace and be brought into the light of His Glory; however, alas like fools we walk away. In Him, we possess all that we could ever hope for or need. So, why don’t we seek Him.
1 Chronicles 29:
Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.
12 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
I wrote this poem a few years ago; but, wanted to share it with you today.
THY GLORY DRAWING NIGH
The clouds that dance across the sky
The shades of green beneath that lie
Sunlight’s rays stretch from on high
Display Thy Glory drawing nigh
The strength and hope as friends draw near
To speak a word of kindness, cheer
To give a smile or dry a tear
Display Thy love—that Thou art here
A toddling baby’s laughter, squeal
The wonder, awe of all that’s real
A child like glee we’re bid to feel
Displays Thy joy-so great, surreal
Oh, Lord; Thy Grace, Thy Love Divine
Thou art a treasure-precious fine
To think you chose to make me thine
How could a man thy gift decline!
Dear Lord, I ask, “Help me Display
They love, Thy Grace, Thy joy today.
For someone lost or gone astray
A guiding light that shines the way.”
Disavowing pride, my heart of stone
To humbly bow before Thy Throne
And let your light through me be shone
That Thy Dear Son might then be known
Unto a world so filled with pain
Where sin has left such crimson stain
And Lies of man, a joy doth feign
Where evil hearts thy love constrain
If they could see thy true delight
Thy mercies new each dawning light
The Glorious beauty shining bright
Thy strength, thy sovereignty, thy might
The clouds that dance across the sky
The shades of green beneath that lie
Sunlight’s rays stretch from on high
Display Thy Glory drawing nigh

So, where do I begin again and find joy in my salvation; after, falling. If you want to know more about this book or the other books I have written: You can find a link at: Book Resources.
