God of eternity past and present
You had me in mind
Before I was ever born
In the eternity of eternities past
You knew me!
I was predestined to know You
You knew the very time
I was to arrive
In this world with all it's people
Here I am!
One speck as the sand of the seashore
Yet you have a DNA
Entirely my own
A life you had intended me to live
For you!
What a wondrous God!
Ecclesiastes 3:11.."He hath made everything beautiful in it's time..He also planted eternity in men's hearts and minds ( a divinely implanted sense of purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy) yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning unto the end"
Author notes
Upon retiring to bed last night, this verse out of the Amplified Bible which gives shades of meaning in the Hebrew and Greek text was there before me! My poem is a paraphrase, just a part of all God's intentions are in having us here...A new appreciation of this verse and it fitting into the poem I thought I would include as a footnote!

His goodness is reflected in the symphonic composition of nature's sounds; His power is revealed in the majestic sweep of the universe; His mercy is evident in His word, and His grace is ever present in the indwelled Spirit.
