Invaluable Icon

Have you ever walked in his shoes,
And gone where his feet had trod?
Have you ever thought of what he means to us?
And on your knees, given thanks to God?

Have you ever told him thank you
For being there, when times are tough,
For comforting words and fervent prayers
When storms of life are rough?

Have you ever mind to out-loud thank you,
For preaching God's word to help us understand,
For all the times he has asked for things
That will loan us a helping hand?

He answers our calls even in the darkest hour
Not of his sight passed-by a gloomy face.
He comes with prayer of comfort to share
With his open hands every sheep and goats to cane.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
