My Journey to God

God Loves You and He Always Will

Our eternal God loves you and he always will
But he never forgets and he will love you still
Others might forget you and that you ever existed
God will forgive you despite sins you committed.

No matter what the sins that you are guilty of
Your sins will never convey you beyond his love
God will forgive you when your life comes to an end
God will always and forever be your faithful friend.

Others might scorn you and try to get into your face
God will always protect you and keep them in place
Nothing ever escapes God nor can it hide from his eye
He admonishes persecutors and asks you to look to the sky.

God will always be present and will keep you in his loving care
Wherever you may wander and stray he is always there
He will give you the faith and spirit and all that it takes
He will set you on your journey to him and never forsakes.

Your destination is not some far flung and inaccessible place
It is as close to you as your reverence and prayers interface
All that God asks is to search for him and for your journey to begin.
That you hear his voice with the ear of your heart as it sounds within.
