National Poetry Month

April is National Poetry month and I decided to take the challenge from stacyjulian.com and do something that pertains to poetry including 'posting a poem on your blog'.  I am posting a poem I wrote one day, years ago after I was inspired by a question that my Uncle Ron asked me. He said Deb, "What do you think the completed picture will look like when all is said and done"? I told him I didn't really know. His answer was "It will be the face of Jesus".

Portrait of Love

When the end has come and the painting is done

     What is the picture we'll see?

The face of Jesus, the love of God,

     Eternal life for you and for me.

He paid the price so that we could live,

     A life that is free from sin.

We opened our hearts, we believed His word

     We invited Him in.

We are possessors of all that He is---

     Put on His armor and know---

That He is our Father, Our Lord, Our King

     And is with us wherever we go.

Let's be obedient to the King of Kings,

     Let's hold His banner high.

Let's love the Lord with all of our heart

     And know that heaven is nigh.

"Go therefore into the world"

     And share what Jesus has done.

He reconciled us who once were  lost---

     We have our place with God's Son.
