Okay, let me start off by saying that I am by NO means a poet lol, nor do I write poetry. But every now and then some of my writings have a more personal feel then the others. Honestly, I don't even consider this to be a real "poem", but more like me just writing to God.
Often we let everyday situations and occurrences steal our focus and sometimes we forget to remember God's love, grace, and faithfulness. I wrote this awhile back after spending some quiet time with Him and the words just kinda flowed. I recently stumbled back across this and it came at such a timely point for me and who knows it might be timely for someone else too. :)
"Sometimes I Forget"
Sometimes I forget how much I really love You. I let all of the crazy cares of this life pull me away from our intimate connection and I forget that at the end of the day, all I need is You.
Sometimes I forget that You have all the answers I am seeking. Sometimes I forget that You hold the key to my heart and you haven’t allowed it to be exposed to certain people and experiences because you don’t want it to endure unnecessary bruising.
Sometimes I forget that You’re my priority. The only one who has always had my best interest at heart at all times. Sometimes I forget that there will never be another to love me as perfectly as You do. That despite all the times I wanted so badly to not be like You, and wanted to blend in, You still wanted me. Not even realizing how long You took to carefully make up each intricate detail to design the unique woman You created me to be.
Sometimes I forget how strategically placed all of the people are in my life. There’s nothing even remotely subtle about Your goodness. Sometimes I forget how much I really love You. You’ve seen me at my weakest moments and You cradled me in Your arms and kissed me on my forehead as You bottled each tear.
Sometimes I forget how patient You are with me. How You would leave 99 sheep just to go after the 1 who strayed away. Well I was once that stray sheep, and You chased after me. And for that I will never forget.
You truly are everything to me,
-Leah
