Gods Questions
We question God in every way:
‘What was that I heard you say?’
‘Why do children die so young?’
‘What of worldly wars unsung?’
‘Who allows the poor to starve?’
‘Why are pain and illness allowed?’
The truth is we live in a fallen world unmasked
and God has some questions of his own to ask
“WHERE ARE YOU?”
God thinks of us with persistent longing
yet we hide ourselves in many ways
a smiling face when we are sad
feigning confidence when afraid
we need to be honest about our lives
share with Him longings, joys, sorrows and shame
come out of our hiding and speak openly with trust
take off our fig leaves, draw closer in transparency
“WHAT IS YOUR NAME?”
God cannot transform if we are unwilling to reveal
acknowledge He has created and called us by name
no matter who we are or what we have done
our new identity in Him provides a future not
defined by past failures, sins and old pseudonym
we are His dearly ‘beloved’- that is our true label
He longs to bless us, so don’t hesitate to ask
hear the Spirit of His love calling our new name
“WHO DO YOU SAY I AM?”
I’m not a myth created by imaginations of clever gospel writers
or sham not staying true to Biblical promises as other liars
I am the Alpha, Omega—the beginning and the end
The Creator of the Universe and yet still your best friend
