Grappling With Divinity

That the God
of the heavens and earth
sun and moon
mountains and seas
winds and rain
that the God
of all creation
loves me
in my insignificance
in my resistance
my defiance
my flaws and imperfections
that the God
who gives and takes life
cares about my life
brings me to my knees
in gratitude
praise be to the God
who loves even me

~Robert Van Valkenburgh
