Measurements



Measurements

I sized myself up with the measurement of my daughter's behavior
I have cried at the results

I sized myself up with the measurement of my husband's affections
I have cried at the results

I sized myself up with the measurement of my pier's invites and attentions
I have cried at the results

I sized myself up with the measurements of my own accomplishments
I have cried at the results

Then  a tap, tap, tap on my heart

His voice as sweet as spring  
His voice as strong as thunder
His truths older than this world I call home 
His grace bigger still

So many scriptures of His compassion 
So many scriptures of His love
So many scriptures of His Deity 
So many scriptures of His son

Then I read

I read His note to me and learn more about measurement
I read His note and learn more about what He sees
I read His note and learn about perfection
I read His note and I know He sees His perfect Son when
He sees me!


I size myself up with the measurement of God's Love and Grace
I smile at the results
