I am so impressed by your work
I stand silent, unable
to describe the amazement that has struck me
How do you lead situations, events, and days to be... for my good... for my benefit, for my blessing??
At first, they seemed
dry, fearful, and turbulent
But in the end, they are your touches and the magic of your work
I do not question your authority, for you are the creator of all
But I am amazed and astonished by your overwhelming kindness to a creation that does not reciprocate the same emotion and does not give you what you deserve
How could you love us so much?
You should have been disgusted
Or treated us as we deserve
Or taken revenge on the wicked
Or rejected us and turned your face away
But you have been excessive
I wish I could love you
Not to the extent of my human heart
...but as much as you deserve
...as much as you have given
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
