Comment from Sally Law
This is as so lovely John, and worshipful. It reminded me of an older hymn:
I am the Lord's! O Joy beyond expression,
O sweet response to voice of love Divine;
Faith's joyous "Yes" to the assuring whisper,
"Fear not, I have redeem'd thee, thou art Mine."
You put you own spin on this old favorite and added some more depth: My time of youth has passed me,
but at my age, if I stumble he catches me,
lest I should fall.
Just beautiful.
One spag: [Lord's] is possessive.
Sending you my best today as always,
Sal :))

Comment from Liz O'Neill
This reminds me of Psalm 139. Did you use that for some of your inspiration for this poem? It is my favorite Psalm. I feel so good about myself and gain confidence when I read it. This is such a contrast to the dark whisperer who whispers such negative things about us in our ear. "He whispers words in my ear."
This is well thought out & well expressed.

Thanks Liz, for a great review,to answer the question no I did not use
Psalm 139,I was awake at 2 am went outside walked around my drive and this came to me, God speaks to me daily and walks me through troubled times,As i'm sure he walks with you also.

What do people do without that assurance of love and safety? We are blessed. Check out or review 139. You will be amaze how you were inspired.
