With Thanks - A Letter

The Creator and Sustainer of all things

TL:DR: God is worthy of all praise simply for Who He is. He is high and exalted, yet loves you and me with a deep, personal, unending love.

To You Who alone gives to all breath and life

And everything else that we so often take for granted.

To You Who has led Your people through the ages, through storms and sunshine — A pillar of fire by night, a cloud by day.

You—who walks upon the waters, yet is never drowned,

Who stands within the fire, yet is never burned.

The Master Artist, who thought of the tiniest, tireless ant and the towering, elegant giraffe— and with a word, called them into being.

Who made mountains stand tall and trees stand brave through seasons.

Who paints the flowers and helps them blossom.

who am I, Lord that You would stay? That You would love me every day?

No shadow hides us from Your gaze, No wayward heart outruns Your grace.

So Restore my soul, Lord — align my will to Yours

Creator-King, both near and high.

All things were formed at Your command—

The wonders we study for years and strive to understand, All are secrets You’ve always held in hand.

You are worthy and deserving of praise only for Who You are.

Words will never hold the weight—

But still I say so that’s on my heart: I honour You, I praise You, I love You.

It will take eternity, and I pray — looking forward in the faith You have given, to praise You then, in glory and perfection.

You are worthy.

And so with all I am, I’ll raise a life of worship, a heart of praise.

So take my praise, my amen, my all—

I’m Yours, forever at Your call.

Not out of duty, fear, or role— but from the depths of all my soul.

Forever Yours —

To You, my Maker, Lord and King.
