Conversations Poem by Justin Reamer

Conversations



What is it that you see in me?
Why do You call my name?
What do You want with me?
Don’t You know I am fallible?

My son, I know you are fallible,
But to Me, you have great
Potential because you have
Given every gift I have given
You for My sake.
You gave them to other people,
Which is greater than anything else
You could have done.

But why do You pick me?
I am a fool and a stupid human being,
A mere mortal before Your face.
Am I truly worthy of Your gift?
Am I worthy enough to serve You?
Am I good enough for Your people, Lord?
Why do You call my name?

My son, I call your name
Because I love you;
I trust you,
And to Me, you are perfect.
You are worthy enough to serve Me.
You have shown your love
And abilities time and again,
And I know the purity of your heart.
You are worthy because I know you;
I know every hair on your head,
Every toe on your foot,
Every finger on your hand,
Every tooth in your mouth,
Every beat and feeling that passes
Through your heart,
Every thought that passes through your mind,
Every word that comes off your lips,
And you, My son, have
Expressed nothing but love.

But, Father, I am not worthy
Of your blessings because
I have also done wrong—
Serious wrong—
And my regret and sorrow
Pains me every day of my life.
I want to atone;
I want to expiate myself.
The wrongs I have done—
They are not worthy
Of Your great love.

My son, you are worthy of my love.
For the wrongs you have done,
You have compensated them with
Acts of love and selflessness.
For this reason, I forgive you,
And this is why I love you,
Because you try your best
To live up to My Name.

Father, I thank You,
But what do You want me,
A simple man,
To do?
Please tell me.

I want you to serve Me
And to serve My people;
I want you to give yourself
To others as you have
Already been doing.
I want you to serve My Church,
So follow Me.

I will do that, Father;
I love You with all of my heart.
Thank You for everything.
