Bow Down Before You


Revelations 1:8 ~ "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." As my knees hit the floor, Lord, I bow down before you. When I bow down, I lay it all at the altar before you as I worship with all of Heaven singing - "Worthy are you our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created." ~ Revelation 4:11 I bow before you daily. Not just in the good times, but also in the hard times. In the mourning and the praising and in the waiting. Bow down before you with all that I have. Lord, help me to bow before you even when I don't feel like it. Lord, let this be my devotion to you alone! When I bow before you, may it be all of me and not some parts, but all of who I am! El Shaddai, I bow before you to give you my all. Elohim, help me to deny myself daily, come before you in surrender. Yahweh, El Shaddai, Elohim, El Roi, Yeshua, Adonai - to you be the glory forever and ever!!

Just tryna' write poetry that always glorifies God and who He is, what he has done for me, and what He can and will do for you! If God can transform my life, I know without a doubt he can transform yours too! You are NEVER too far gone, or broken for God! Come to Jesus just as you are and give your life to him and watch the change happen when you turn to Jesus and live for Him!! Being a Christian is never easy, just as life isn't easy, but our only hope is in Jesus Christ the one and only!!
