Centered in Him

Melissa Baker

Does your life seem like it is always falling off
the page
and your place has more error than good?
Does thought go to matter for joy
and human reporting sound truer
than God's message of love?

Why waste space that is God filled,
and crouch on a make-believe edge
that would let us fall off?

There needs to be a centering ... of thought,
a more active understanding of the starting point.

Staying focused on Him, eliminates falling off
the page
or out of His kingdom.

Then ... Life/God ... becomes our
center.
