Planning the Plan
There are so many things about God
that I don't really understand.....
like why He chose me
to be a part of His band.
I have done nothing at all
to deserve such favor.
But I sincerely thank this God-man
who's love for me does not waiver.
He lavishes on us a love
that is unconditional and so pure
that no matter what in the world we do,
He won't love us less nor love us more.
Oh sure, there are times that we
may not be found in His favor,
like when we willfully disobey
or too much of the "world" do we savor.
In loving fashion God created this world - -
a plush paradise - - co-existing woman and man.
But God knew that man and serpent would ruin the Garden,
so from His infinite wisdom sprouted the perfect plan.
The "Eden Act" and all the scenes that would follow
caused a separation that was deep, but not a divorce.
For God obsessed with our reconciliation
which takes us back to Him and His plan, of course.
This plan sent His only Son, whose name is Jesus,
down to this decrepit,defiled place called Earth.
His entrance onto the scene was unlike that of Superman.....
no crater, no quake,just a manger and a humble birth.
He lived here and loved here for a short time,
revealing what life is really all about....
about sharing and caring....compassion and passion,
not at all about who has the most clout.
He told us time and time again that He
had no agenda that was His own.
It was to strictly do the will of the Father,
nothing more,nothing less, just that alone.
But it was this very will that ultimately
led the "Annointed One" to much despair.
For it was demanded of Him
the sin of the world to bear.
