Today Poem by Joel Mbowa

Today GOD chose you,
HE presented you to the world to be
A special being, a lily in the valley,
a light in darkness, a flower that blossoms,
a Sound that brings joy, a beacon of hope,
To be HIS vessel, HIS treasure, HIS ruby,
HIS sign, HIS wonder, HIS miracle,

Today you should not forget that
You are the apple of GOD's eye,
You were uniquely crafted,
GOD calls you work of HIS very hands,
HIS own, HIS child and friend.
And above all, HE knows you by name.

Today is that day you ought to pause,
And thank GOD for all the past victories,
Renounce past failures and disappointments,
And embrace the present and blessings HE has
Put before you as you
looking towards the crown that lies ahead,
looking towards Christ the author and finisher of our faith.

Today May the LORD ground you in your inheritance,
May the LORD bless you and keep you,
May the LORD Renew HIS mercy and love for you,
May the bless your road into the future,
May the LORD renew your strength always,
May the LORD's countenance shine upon you,
May the LORD be with you always.
