The Abiding

Every breath, I breathe for you,
Who you are, I AM.
What you do you do to Me,
Where you go, I’ve sent you.

My desires I’ll place before you;
Help is always there.
My work, your work, loving labor;
I define success.

Live your days. They are My gift.
Find the treasures in them,
For time is finite, moving, changing,
Mine to give or take.

Rest now. Know My Love enfolds you.
You belong to Me.
Be the one who lives My Life.
…learn to love Me back.
