Unsettled Grace, again…
I rest upon God’s mighty hand,
as an infant, as a man.
I wonder, God, What is to be?
Why? I wonder, why choose me?
Dearest Father, Loving King,
I don’t know how to cope with these things.
Guidance, you ask?
Yes.
That would be nice,
Until then Lord, prayer is my vice.
I dream in your mighty hand, my God,
Of a day that will come to be…
I see in a distant future; a day in eternity.
I dream to know you, as you have known me.
I dream away worries
I dream away tears;
I rest in an Unsettled Grace
you really are here.

“Why? I wonder, why choose me?”
As a young Christian, I desired to know why I was saved by the Lord on the day when I was going to commit suicide and many others have not been so blessed. His reply was that a woman had prayed for me for years and years. The woman was the local religious fanatic who most of us looked down our noses at.
“Unsettled” is the word, isn’t it? Grace is so easy to say and so hard to understand or live. It’s truly a subject to ponder through an entire lifespan. Blessings.
I love the cadence of this poem, Cindy! And unsettled grace, yes, that is what it is, isn’t it? It is a mystery that He would love us THAT much!
Blessings!

this is one of my favorite poems to dwell in once in awhile…
I was thinking about you when I watched the news about floods in North Dakota. Everything ok there? Anyway, it drew me to your blog where I read my own thoughts beautifully arranged by your skill. I agree with your other commenters, “unsettled grace” is a profound description. I needed that this morning!
My human says as you get older you KNOW how true the sentiment you expressed in your poem is.
