12. Seek God's Face

(photo by SpinC)

How do you picture God in your head?
is it based on what other people have said
Seek Him on your own, discover His face
Learn more about Him, be filled with grace

He is not a cosmic policeman in a blue suit and a badge
arms crossed, toe-tapping, and carrying a club
He is not waiting to whack people for doing wrong
His goodness is what supplies our faith to be strong

People question why God desires our thankfulness
Doesn't that show that He has a big ego?
But look again, for it is not so
In thankfulness, the good seeds we sow

God doesn't give to get
He gives not because you have been good
Realize this and don't forget
Good or evil, man gets shelter and food

Are you hoping to see God in a burning bush?
Don't hold your breath on that
If any man sees His face, he would be toast
That is what is said in 33:20 of Exodus

when you're down and blue
write down what God has done for you
Ask God to make you a thankful person
It is a powerful antiddote to depression
