A poem: The Christ in You

By Melissa Wren

Honesty, devotion
an affection I never predicted
A friendship developed
from a heart that’s convicted

Your sweet nature observed
Your tenderness cherished
A love so preserved
from past relationships perished

You’re selfless and caring
with changes you’re sharing
Wiser than you know; a child of God
Miraculous to watch grow

Asking God for permission
to fulfill our desires
Humbled by the meaning of submission
as patience expires

Learning the blessings of perseverance
in this confused state
Waiting on God’s clearance
and the gifts that await

Seeing this unfold
without the force of self-will
Courageous and bold
asking God for resolve to stand still

The old you is gone
God is making you new
and I can’t help but falling
in love with the Christ inside of you.
