"one Man Show"

When you look at me what do you see?
For unto you my love is magnified.
But at times I don't feel worthy,
I stray away from your arms yet you still love me.
Sometimes I wonder how you look at me.
For unto your word I contravened.
But in my heart with you is where I want to be,
I know that I should have faith the size of a mustard seed.
But does that mean i shouldn't strive for more?
For the knowledge that i recieve from you makes my mind soar.
Why do I ask what you see?
Because you created me.
There is nothing seen or done by me that you don't already know.
So why am i acting like this a "one man show".

This is very true and revealing...We tend to forget that God is the one that needs to be in charge of our life. Beautiful piece...

aww a great poem, sometimes lifes' circumstances can take our minds of God for a split second, especialy in crisis it's our human instincts if a loved one is hurt or something we'd just go boming off to see they ok, But God loves us all the same , I too seek more of him a lot more i want to go so deep the enemy will never find me, God looks into our heart and he loves us, he sees what we will become, you are a treasure Paul he will always be by your side thanks for your kind comments God Blss
