The Perfect ABBA

The Perfect Abba

You are the perfect Father.
Your love and mercy know no bounds.
You offer me hope and peace.

I am a prodigal, prone to rebellion.
I stumble and fall, set in my ways.
I am blind to what You offer me.

You are my Creator and Savior.
Your word is light and truth.
You gave Yourself for me.

I am purchased by Your blood.
I cannot save myself.
I am just one tiny grain of sand.

You are my deliverance.
Your desire is for my well-being.
You are with me always.

This realization is that we are sinners and God's saving grace is needed for our redemption is the first step to coming closer to our Heavenly Father. God is our deliverance and our guide and savior. Let us abide in His mercy. This is a lovely prayer and can be sung like a hymn

Yes, yes and yes. The writer makes clear what he knows the truth to be and what he must overcome in order to live those truths. Expressed very well. Thank you for commenting on my poem, "Loved By You." CayCay
