You're the best writer
That's not just my opinion
Your book is the best-selling book
Of all time
In the history of man
Captivating stories
Some grand and some sobering
They seem antiquated at first
But we can't deny the relatability
The eye-opening parallels
To our own lives
Our mistakes, our pride, our sorrow
Our rebellion, indifference, unforgiveness
The epiphany of knowing that
It's a timeless owner's manual of us
To keep us running smoothly
To troubleshoot
And repair
Our inner selves
So much information You've given
Metaphors, parables, scenarios
All dedicated to higher learning
With a single textbook
Oh, how well You know us
You autographed my baby book
Before I ever came into being
I'd recognize Your signature anywhere
It's written across my heart
Your pen is my path
Your ink is my life
I see my imperfections loudly
But You say "stop using a mirror
to define you"
The height chart You drew
on Your wall for me
Stopped at five feet to my dismay but
You pointed to Your book
And told me I'd slay giants with nothing
But Faith
That I'd be twelve feet tall and bulletproof
By design
It took me a long time to come
To the door with apologies for
Being so late but
You said I was right on time
Right down to the second
Because it was Your timing all along
You were counting down to the day
That I saw it all in person
Because You already knew
You're checking off every event
That You've written already for me
And I did say " send me, I'll go"
You had already pressed into me
Your embossed seal
On my soul
You are the author of my
Yesterday
Today
Tomorrow.
Amen.
