A POEM….THE EMPTY BOX

I have a box I want to fill

With things that show my God , His will

I want so much to do my part

To share my God from heart to heart

I tried to put God’s love inside

It would not fit, it’s too deep and wide

I tried to put His grace in place

The box was too small, not enough space

I know that His peace is no small matter

But in my box it began to shatter

And what would show how Christ redeems

Would bust my box at every seam

I want my box to show someone

To share the Father and the Son

I tried to fill it with the things

His love, His mercy, His grace will bring

I won’t give up, I will not quit

There must be something that will fit

And then God’s wisdom came to me

I began to understand, I began to see

God has no limits, He has no size

He is all knowing and oh so wise

My God is great, He is almighty

And that is why my box is empty

(1Corinthians 2:9)
