Poetry
My Prayer
By Kurt Hardy
I asked God to bring me Good Things.
Then an opportunity came my way.
“Lord,” I said, with hesitation and dread,
“This is not what I meant, when I prayed!
You sent me a challenge, not an opportunity.
This isolation is more than I can bear.”
He whispered to me so tenderly,
“I heard the words of your prayer.
I am giving to you on this special day,
a gift, called the ‘Ministry of Love’
I will put My Spirit of love, into your heart.
My presence shall be like a soft gentle dove.”
“But Lord, how can I do this,
I can’t even love myself?”
“What I’ve called you to do, is not about you,
but sharing My Love, with every one else.
I chose you from the beginning of time,
not because you were anything less.
But because you have a great work to do,
and in doing it, you shall surely be blessed.
I love you My child more than this world,
even from the beginning of time.
And always remember you are in My heart.
I am so proud, that I can call you mine.”
