Being Whole

With hands outstretched,
Lifted a small distance.
Palms to the sun, warmth
Felt, heartfelt. Eyes aimed
At the light, all seeing.
You are, embody who you
Want to be. Who you see
To be. Make your choice,
Yours to make, you see?
Whoever says you’re maimed
Fails everything, it’s etched
In your whole being:
You are who I am seeing,
Complete and whole to me.

Anil Deo Date: 4/15/2017 3:51:00 AM yes, we better believe it. "God is not a man that he should lie ..." NUMBERS 23:19. He loves each one of us as His masterpieces. Since humans love so selfishly, we can't begin to understand that in Jesus, we are totally accepted by God as is. Then, we start walking with Jesus (and bear FRUIT for others=testimony). He first loves us ...U are so right.U have REVELATION, amen. thanks --- healing is His children's bread. Shalom Login to Reply Darren White Date: 4/15/2017 10:19:00 AM Dankie, Anil.
