I Want You to Know This
I want you to know this.
As dire as it may appear,
Your Higher Power casts out fear.
I want you to know you are just
God’s Spirit breathed into Stardust.
I want you to know this.
A plague may be single or in a swarm.
You may emerge battered out of this storm;
And go from transfixed to being transformed,
From a new natural to a new norm.
I want you to know this.
You are a component of something grand,
That’s too miraculous to understand,
You are a part of the universe and
Metaphorically stationed in God’s hand.
I want you to notice,
The wonder in the evening skies,
The innocence in children’s eyes,
The evidence that God has created
A universe where we are related.
I want you to notice
The pruning and fine tuning undergone;
That thing in you that God is working on.
Let us underscore and not undersell
God’s grace that makes us infinitely well.
I want you to know this
Is an incantation and not a curse;
A blessing of love from the universe.
You must know that God’s creation,
Was scripted from His imagination.
I want you to notice
The sunsets and the sunrises;
Internal beauty and surprises;
The good among a range of bad;
The happy standing next to sad.
I want you to know this to be true;
A purpose is planted inside of you,
I want you to notice, as you pursue
The promise, that God will provide for you.
The image of God is your GPS.
He knows and notices,
And He will bless.
