For we all have come short of the Glory of God

Once I was young, now I am older, and I have seen much. I now know that we all fall short of God's Glory, but in many ways we have pleased our Father. He has loved us, touched us, and brought us comfort. We have given Him  problems, tears, our pain, and our hearts. He has called us His, we are Abba's children, loved by the power of all things. My heart only now knows this truth, my walk with my Father has not always been peaceful, much of my pain was caused by my unwillingness to listen to the voice of love. Now I am older and every day I listen for the voice of my beloved, for I am His, and He is mine. I am older and still I have much to learn from Abba, but this I know in His eyes I am still young.
