I have this yearning within me
to praise my God,
the Lord of all creation.
I have within my every fiber
the need to express
my praise to Him.
I have within me
these amazing thoughts
that I cannot comprehend.
What thought did He not have
when he created me?
What joy did He not have
when He blessed me?
What compassion did He not have
when He heard my call?
I cannot express
neither comprehend
being loved so much.
I cannot even tell
how much I truly love Him
for the wounds of His Son.
I have this craving within me
to walk softly and lovingly,
as He does by my side.
I have this yearning within me
to be clean in thoughts and deeds
like the blessings He often bestows.
My Father, I have sinned,
yet know that within my heart
I am aware of your infinite Love -
hold me, as gold within Your heart.

The full register of emotions ...
deepset and safe in faith, hope and love. Yes Frans: I understand this wonderment, this craving, this desire to be pure. You have written this so well.
Thank you for all the beautiful reminders you pen, my friend. You are an example of humbleness and divine love ... in everything you write.
Love

This is lovely Frans & a blessing to read on the First Day of Unleavened Bread! My heart feels so full right now. You expressed the joy & amazement of beholding the love Father has that He sent His Son to die for us & bestowed such a blessing on sinners! I give you a gold for this! Blessings dear one.
