A Snippet From My Testimony
A SNIPPET FROM MY TESTIMONY
God tapped me on the shoulder:
Did you hear this one?
Actually I was in proximity
And I overheard:
Jesus’ mother and brothers were at the door...
Curiosity bit my ear
Just that quick
I wanted to know more
Boy, do His words lift
This sorority and fraternity
Is open to all
Bible study took my breath away
Still does
I have had three bibles show up at my door.
You see, causality of thought burns heaven’s ears.
Because dear Jesus hears,
When YOU have ears to hear.
So just like that in the generosity
Of a new friend,
Who’d only heard what God said
I received my first
Full-length revelation
And I soaked in the ink
Years later my sister remembered
The one time I had spoken
Of my Grandmother’s red-leather,
art-infused family bible.
She brought it home from her travels —
I unwrapped the blanket covered gift.
So good is God, and then my husband,
Who has a strange family history
Received his grandmother’s too —
All the way from Germany.
He was adopted by his mother
And also into the family of God.
How good God is!
He leaves no one out.
No religiosity brings
Good tidings,
But a childlike faith —
God remembers everything.
