God Uses My Hand
When I used to read the poems that I had written
I would be amazed and truly surprised
for I was aware that I wrote good poetry
but they turned out better than I would have realized.
Today I know better than I did way back then
I know that these words that I write are not mine
they could not have been created in a heart made of flesh
because their author is all powerful and divine.
I know that I could not think of these words alone
nor possess such creativity
God Himself created the words that I write
and then put all of these feelings in me.
When I'm inspired to write a new poem
I know that it's God giving me inspiration
He then goes through me and uses my hand
to give life to His wonderful creation.
When I am inspired I am one with His Spirit
which to me is unbelievably exciting
for God is giving me His thoughts to share with the world
and He is doing it using my handwriting.
I used to take all credit for the poems that I wrote
but I don't now for I finally understand
that all of my poems were created by God
He just chose to use my hand.
