Best Poems Written by Christina Cornelison

My God

The way I came to you was difficult. 
I was searching for years, 
which seemed like lifetimes. 
I received revelations and 
brief moments of Clarity
(I had epiphanies so powerful  that I 
felt overwhelmed
Felt godlike myself
Ego took hold
subverted good intentions 
into human power struggles
Self-love, and unhealthy pride
I was locked-up in chains
Searching in vein for a sharp tool...

I used to beg desperately for help
But you responded in riddles
Forcing me to think about what I was unable to 
(I am so far beneath your Majesty)...

I gave up control, 
(which was a powerful illusion)
Released 
my Regrets 
through your son Jesus Christ, and
sincerely asked your forgiveness 
for injustices I inflicted upon others 
and myself

Acknowledging you as 
All-knowing,
All-powerful

I began to pray...
Asking for guidance everyday
Strength to overcome difficulties
Power to control myself
Inspiration to feed creativity
Trust to love freely
Humility to accept what I cannot change
Patience to wait for answers & Redemption
Compassion for the sufferings of others

So many Requests...
But you are 
Eternally Patient

Finally, 
a sense of peace began to awaken in me, through prayer and effort and your guidance 
I became whole.

You Created
Mysteries 
far beyond my comprehension
I can only ponder your 
All-encompassing Wisdom

Vast...
You are everywhere 
and everything and 
everyone all at once

Now...
I feel deep in my Soul 

your 
Power
Grace and
Love

No words can describe my
Awe and
Love for you 
God

Beyond 
any name 
or symbol 
or style
Your Majesty can 
never be Defined

Humbly
I Thank You
