He Has Only Just Begun

He Has only Just Begun

He has only just begun creating new days
 whether inside hours
 or by the river that flows from the throne of the Lamb.

He has only just started planning for fresh sunsets
 in loving hues never witnessed
 on Heavenly streets or asphalt highways.

He has only just started rolling out plans
 for forests and fields
 savoring teas brewed from leaves with healing for the nations.

He has only just designed new mansions
 by still waters
 in hearts that live beyond marauding midnights.

He has only just begun to give birth
 from the eternal womb
 for such a time as this.

He has only just begun a new work
 in you and me
 that the carpenter completes and finishes.

Agreed, Joe! Fortunately, for all of us, "The Word's" signature is not complete and we are still witnesses to "the Word's" on going creation - especially in our ministry of writing! Thank you so much for your feedback. Blessings to you!

In this poem I find new hope soaring on wings. The work has begun and is in progress. "He has only just designed new mansions by still waters in hearts that live beyond marauding midnights." Love these lines. Let us hopefully wait for the completion of the plans the Master Craftsman has in His scheme of things. A beautiful poem as ever, dear Sam. All the best.

Dearest Valsa, I am deeply grateful for your thoughtful and "thought-full message that touched my heart. I loved this contest theme, thinking about how God's plans are playing out in so many new ways. And just when we think we have everything figured out a serendipity happens just to keep us on our toes! Your message of hope and faith was just what I needed today. Thank you dear friend. You have an amazing gift for raising the spirit! Sending you bushels of blessings, hugs and prayers!
