Poem

The Presence of God

I will stop striving
I will stop relying on my own understanding
I will stop putting all my trust in my own skills
Because I finally realized that
Everything in Your Kingdom Lord
Is not about my own works
But it’s all about receiving

In the first place
You already prepared everything
And all I need to do is to open my heart
And receive the portion
That you prepared for me

I just learned that all this time
I’m not living like your child
I keep on living like an orphan
Thinking that I am just nothing
But the moment you came into my heart
You made me realize that
I am your beloved child
Whom you had prepared a wonderful present for

You want me to live inside your Kingdom
But I can’t do it, Father
Without Your Presence
That’s why
Please give me the courage to believe in you
Please teach me how to make room for you
Inside my heart and throughout my life

Teach me how to be faithful to you
And as I commit my life to love you
Give me a heart that’s always willing to die for myself
So that you will live in me

Lord, now I know who I truly am
I am your precious child
I am no longer an orphan
But I belong in your Family

I will no longer live this life alone
I will always allow you to move in my life
You will always be my ultimate priority
And as I seek your Kingdom first
Please teach me how to share it with others

As I enjoy and delight in your presence
Please remind me not to live without it
As I immerse in your great love
Please teach me how to share it
To those who are lost and broken-hearted
