Infinitely Beautiful: The Poem

What an amazing weekend

filled with amazing friends.

What a mind blowing concept

that is infinite.  

Ephesians 3:20

Now all glory to God, who is able, 

through his mighty power at work within us, 

to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Now I pray

that we give glory to God 

in ever possible way.  

That we lean on him, instead of holding our own breath.

That we stop being someone we are not, just to be known.

That we stop walking on the path that leads to our death.

Did you know?

That God created the stars in the sky,

all the animals, plants, and trees on the land

just so that Adam, you, or I could lend a helping hand.

Did you know?

He gave us the world to spark our questions and start asking why?

And that why is the guy both 100% man and 100% God.

He loves you more than everything in our vast universe.  

He pours out his love for you in ever single Bible verse.  

He did that and so much more.

Every morning and night

He paints the sky in colors of orange, red, purple, and pink.

All just so that we know that we are adored and are taken in delight.

And did you know that He prayed for you?

Yes..He prayed for you. 

Back in the time when He walked on this Earth,

right before He was captured and sentenced to death,

He prayed for me and He prayed for you.  

He prayed for us to trust what He said to be true.

John 17:23 

Jesus {prays} this:

"I have given them the glory that you gave me,

that they may be one as we are one--

I in them and you in me--

so that they may be brought to complete unity.

Then the world will know that you sent me

and have loved them even as you have loved me."

Such beautiful words from our creator,

yet we sit on our couches saying, " I'll read the Bible later."

As if later will actually come,

but the weight of this world will bring us to our knees

and we will scream, " I AM DONE!"

I am done, holding my breath for what is to come.

I am done, trying to be perfect, when all that matters are the thoughts from the Son. 

I AM DONE.

And when you are finally done following this world, done following this world,

Jesus sweeps in and lifts you in His everlasting arms.

And whispers into your ear,

"You are not alone, my beloved, I AM here for you.  Stop living your life with hostility,

and start depending on my abilities."

For I, Carly Ann Wilke, will testify till the day that I die

That the God who created the vast universe cares for not only me, but for you.

Now it is your decision to choose, 

and I pray that you choose the one who makes all things new.

The one who loves us all with a love that is:

beyond dutiful, or suitable, in fact it is unusual,

and at times musical, always truthful, immeasurable,

irrefutable, and

INFINITELY BEAUTIFUL!
