Because of Christ
We once were enemies--God and I.
Though, I kind of liked knowing he was around
in case I needed him to handle
something I could not manage on my own.
In that case, I might ask him.
But I worried he might ask
something of me in return.
And that would not do.
I had plans for my life
and strength of my own to carry them through.
Or so I thought.
And now we are friends--God and I
sitting at the same table.
Not that I did anything to earn an invitation,
He invited me, must have been a hundred times.
Until, out of excuses, I finally came.
His strength, I found, was not so much
in those grand interventions I planned to ask for,
but in the small, daily graces
I hadn't even noticed
until we changed from enemies to friends.
Because of Christ.
